Hi,
I've been out in the Forest of Bere[1] grabbing GPS traces of the paths
running through the forest but I'm not 100% sure of the best way to tag
them on OSM. The paths themselves run can vary between maintained paths
which are wide enough to drive a vehicle down (but are not permitted) to
simple unmaintained tracks between the trees. A list of access
permissions can be found on this website[2] and there is also an
official ROW (a footpath) on some of the paths.
I've tagged them as permissive bridleways and used foot=yes to denote
the paths that the footpath uses but I'm left with a couple of
unresolved issues:
* Horse riding is for permit holders only but my current tagging
scheme does not make this clear.
* Should the official ROW be tagged as highway=footway,
horse=permissive or highway=bridleway, foot=yes? Is there any
difference between the two?
If you were tagging this what would you do?
