[Talk-GB] "United Kingdom Tagging Guidelines" on the OSM wiki: due for an update?

Hi All, I hadn't thought about public footpaths along a road. It nicely demonstrates that for RoWs the highway tag really doesn't matter as it is the designation that gives the relevant information. In that case I would tend to agree with Andrew's methodology (which also makes things easier for r

Hi You are dead right - I was talking about paths as in narrow strips of ground for walking on. I would tag a public footpath as highway=, designation=public_footpath. Graham. On 18 February 2012 10:48, Derick Rethans wrote: > Hi, > > On Sat, 18 Feb 2012, Graham Jones wrote: > > > On the other

I think I have worked out how to do the query using national park relations, and get the following results for a small sample: National Park | Footway (no des) | Footway (des) | path (no des) | path (des) | New Forest (way ID 129493402) | 153| 213 |98

I tag similarly, but do use highway=footway for any path which also has designation=public_footpath which is my one (personal) exception to the urban vs rural rule of thumb. I’ve not had to worry about anything signed as a permissive path yet I don’t think. In those cases I try and also remember a
