In my mind "designated" means "for this infrastructure / mode-of-travel pair, DO use this." Like legislatively or because a sign says so and quotes a local ordinance or traffic code statute. "We built this, use it." (Say, for your own safety and/or comfort).

With "yes" you certainly can use this infrastructure for that particular mode-of-travel. Though, nothing more than that.

I usually go along with was it designed, built, intended or signposted for use by this mode? If so then it's designated. For example a road was designed, built and intended for use by cars, motor_vehicle=designated but if there's no sidewalk you can legally and physically walk on the road so foot=yes. However some roads like a living street / shared zone, are signposted for pedestrians to use, so we'd tag foot=designated.

Everything I've seen pretty much goes with: signposted or marked in some way to indicate usage = designated.
