In my interpretation (and I might be wrong), the difference was that "designated" indicates that the way is "really well suited" (=designed to be used as) for a particular category, whereas "yes" indicates access for that category is allowed. For instance, as far as I know, quite some tracks in Meerdaelwoud are accessible for horse riding. However, (see for instance <http://www.natuurenbos.be/~/media/Files/Domeinen/Vlaams-Brabant/meerdaal_090310_hr.pdf> in the bottom right map), some of them are _designated_ for horse riding ("ruiterpad" in the above document, indicated with the <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/images/5/51/Belgium_Flanders_NatureReserve_AccessibilitySign_A02.svg> sign. If they would be solely designated for horse riding, you could argue they can be classified as a bridleway and that's it, but what if a certain track has both <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/images/5/51/Belgium_Flanders_NatureReserve_AccessibilitySign_A02.svg> and the bicycle variant (yes this exists!)?
