With the caveat that the access tags should reflect legal basis of access, not physical suitability or actual usage.
If the path in question is not legally allowed for motorcycle, then don’t tag motorcycle=yes, even if it’s physically possible and people (illegally) use it that way. If you want to indicate that a path or track is physically not wide enough for larger vehicles, just tag width=* (to specify the width of the path on the ground) or maxwidth:physical=* (to specify the maximum physical width of a vehicle that fits through) on it (but not maxwidth=*, as that implies that there is a legally defined limit). While not widely used, you might also use access tags with :physical suffix, e.g. motorcycle=no + motorcycle:physical=yes Cheers, Thorsten From: Graeme Fitzpatrick <graemefi...@gmail.com> Sent: Saturday, 30 October 2021 12:17 To: EON4wd <i...@eon4wd.com.au> Cc: ianst...@iinet.net.au; OSM-Au <talk-au@openstreetmap.org> Subject: Re: [talk-au] "Removing closed or illegal trails." specifically motor bikes I would have thought highway=track would have been good, but that page is quite adamant that a "track" is for 4-wheel vehicles, & anything smaller is supposed to be a highway=path. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Tag:highway%3Dtrack#use_for_narrow_paths They also say that specifying motor-bike, but not car is done via access=*, but don't suggest just how! I'm guessing highway=path + motor_vehicle=no + motorcycle=yes?

Path does not imply motor bikes. Legally it is allowed to be used as a path, but motor vehicles are not allowed. The motor bike tracks would be difficult to use as a walking track and also for a bicycle. If the tracks were reclassified as a path, it would at least show something that is on the ground plus also imply that it is not allowed for vehicles. What if the motor bike track is legal, how would you then classify the track if it is not wide enough for any car?
