Hi all,
The Aus tagging guidelines suggest using "highway=path foot=yes":
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Australian_Tagging_Guidelines
But surely "foot=designated" is the correct tag, particularly for
tracks which explicitly ban every other mode of transport.
However I should point out that "

You don't need to do that, mapnik automatica
Mainly because I normally give landuses a -3 layer and for things that
sit just above or directly on the ground I give the next layer up.
Probably doesn't need it, but it will do no harm being there.

For the benefit of those not on the tagging list there has been a
solution to my problem of how to tag opening hours for things like
"third sunday of the month" and even how to tag school zones.

I have already tagged the courts with the most appropriate tags. All
have been tagged with sport=tennis, leisure=pitch (which according to
the wiki is used for all sport playing fields/courts as far as I
know), access=private and layer=-2. It might make the map look noisy
at the moment but once bui

Heh, yeah, I assumed it was something like that. It's ok to have the
data in there, I guess, but I don't think it should render on the
default mapnik. If for no other reason than we want *public* tennis
courts to be visible, and all those private ones just create a lot of
noise. Maybe not an urgent

Because, people in the air could be helped by being able to reference

What about
