No, that is a misunderstanding also. The Map Features page is where
*all* widely used tags get documented (plus a few others). If you
Thanks for all replies.
After a parallel discussion in the french ML, I would say that we will
probably not use it as it sounds too much UK specific.

There's the informal word byway as in the English phrase "highways and
byways" which you would indeed say is a minor road as per wikipedia, but
there are also formal "byways". In many parts of England these are
actually signposted with a finger post which simply says "Byway" or
"Public byway".

Byway is an official byway (a certain class of right of way in the UK),
or, if motorcar=no added, a restricted byway.

I forgot the discussion in December (which was more about voting or not
voting ;-).
It's clear when I read the following description from Nick W. [1]:
- "Byway (highway=byway) is an unsurfaced track"
oops. "highway=unsurfaced" has been removed from Map Features. It has been

For one, byway was never proposed or described or otherwise documented,
but instead just plopped into map features. So I gues
Dear talk,
