Hi, Public footpaths in the United Kingdom have been discussed at length and are detailed on the wiki:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/UK_public_rights_of_way#Tagging_Access_Provisions http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/UK_access_provisions In summary, for a Public Footpath: * tag the highway as per what it physically looks like (e.g. highway=track, highway=service, highway=footway) * then add designation=public_footpath to describe the legal designation of the way. * Access tags are then optional. In the case of a public footpath access=no/private + foot=designated/yes would be a valid way of tagging (i.e. close off access to all transport types and then overwrite for people on foot, as per the access hierarchy) The exception to the rule is if you tag the route as highway=path. In this case access tags are required. Regards, Rob
