three weeks and done no editing until the last few days). However, it does
perhaps highlight a problem in having a value and a key with such similar names

foot=yes, bicycle=yes.

I am increasingly convinced that the discussion group is not going to cut it

Nevertheless I would myself still tag as foot/horse/bicycle all 'designated'
as this is at least the default and the 'give way' rule does not remove the
cyclists' right (but how I wish that all bikes had bells and all cyclists
USED them!).

There is apparently, perhaps unsurprisingly, some ambiguity in the wiki.

glish because it is potentially ambiguous. I
would tend to translate 'designated' as 'bestimmt' or 'bezeichnet' but am
unsure which is better! (it doesn't imply anything about signage per se -
although there are certain legal obligations on the authority to erect sig

would currently use the first of these as being the most specific (and, yes,
it is documented on the wiki) - but I appreciate that there are ambiguities
that are being discussed in the thread.
