I’ve been trying to work out how OSM can be used to record and display the
cycle networks in Oxford. I can get most of the way with the standard
tagging in Map Features, but run up a few situations where the tagging
doesn’t fit the reality. One of these is the mishmash of tagging rules for

currently need to be reviewed when tagging and rendering.
highway=path has no such assumptions.
highway=track is totally

I'm not sure that any of the highway= values have assumed
permissions. If you tag something as a footway in JOSM it defaults
to adding both highway=footway and foot=yes (or at least I think it
did in a recent

It should concentrate on describing the physical nature of the way...
+1 on this...I also think highway should just describe the physical way
so probably just:
Just an idea, practical doesn't come into it ;-
But if we've always done it that way wins out every time then the maps
we produce probably aren't going to be as useful as they could be.

Oh, there are only 20‐odd million. Piece of cake ;)

Oh,
I'm aware that there's a school of thought that says there should be a lot
fewer highway tags, with further details in other tags. Can we not rehearse
that debate (please).
I'm assuming the lower change option of keeping the diversity of tags (and
