Description (last modified by openstreetmap.org-user-d1g)

If highway=path used without supplementary tags (access,sac_slace,surface,smoothness) it may mean up to 6 different things in OSM 1 2.

Similar to other unspecific values (barrier=yes and highway=road) users should be asked to enter more information about (sac_scale/surface/smoothness/access and other tags)

See also #11753.

I just did change a small unpaved hiking trail in the mountains from footway -> path, IMOH the opposite is much worser.

People tend to use highway=footway/cycleway in many cases where there less stricter access restrictions.

What should I map if I have a source for paths but without any physical information (e.g. Maps4BW) ?
