    initial v1  
    1 I second this. The first years of my osm "carreer" ago I rettagged a lot of danish cycleways to the path scheme, because that was how JOSM did it, but then slowly realized that this wasn't actually very smart, because pedestrians are actually allowed on all of them, unless there's a sidewalk or there's signage explicitly forbidding pedestrians and I ended up finding all the bicycle/foot=designated etc unnecessarily complex for describing what is essentially a simple normal cycleway.

    33 I've also observed a number of cases of newbies changing legit cycleways highway=cycleway -> footway "because you can also walk on them", so as a "safety measure" I'd actually recommend keeping existing bicycle=designated tags regardless in all cases.
