Further to my earlier answer, Essex arrows tend to have the CC crest on the arrow itself, and public footpath (or whatever) around the top of the circle (if the arrow is pointing straight up). So I might change my answer if there is *just* a yellow arrow, but again it may vary by area.

Thanks Richard Andy, Just to address Andy's comment about new users tagging all footpaths as designation=public_footpath regardless of legal status (as they have seen it used elsewhere). Two points. First Potlatch hides advanced tags away from the simple point and click drop down menus; this may
