    11Public rights of way in England and Wales, using the good bits out of the global tagging style while retaining our ancient folkways and customs. This is a JOSM presets file implementing a hybrid version of the [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_Tagging_Guidelines United Kingdom Tagging Guidelines], at least the part about public footpaths, bridleways, byways and permissive paths.

     15*General goals* 
     16 
     17These presets should be sufficient for clearly marked footpaths in rural 
     18contexts which may or may not follow farm tracks, and for pedestrian 
     19cut-throughs in towns. 
     20 
     21This doesn't try to impose highway=path everywhere, but is still close in 
     22spirit to the "global tagging scheme" shown on the wiki. I use dedecated 
     23types where they would make sense, but also mix in highway=track and 
     24highway=unclassified where those are more appropriate for the physical 
     25aspects of the route. Continuity of RoW tagging along a way is represented 
     26by continuity of the designation=* and *=designated tags. 
     27 
     28Given the nature of E+W rights of way and historical OSM usage, public 
     29paths in England and Wales with markers can almost always can be expressed 
     30as highway=bridleway or highway=footway, and unless they have the character 
     31of a rough farm track or actually follow a minor road they probably should 
     32be. Almost no marked RoW needs highway=path, the exception being marked 
     33permissive paths narrower than a rough farm track where the landowner 
     34allows bikes.
