Documenting solution proposals for `highway=path`

[Hungerburg (Asa Hundert)]

@alan_gr

any unsigned paths are by default “not prohibited” for walking, cycling, or riding, and may well be mapped as highway=path without tags.

This does not hold in Austria and I wager to say does not hold in Germany neither, whether all of Germany or only some regions. Is Spain part of Scandinavia?

@SomeoneElse

Well it did - that’s what the original cycleway was for!

By Law in Germany, cycleway is not shared use. That is where @aighes and @Nop are from.

@SomeoneElse

In the UK, > 90% of cycleways are “shared used paths” in the sense of “being designed to a standard appropriate for at least cycle and foot use”.

Regarding physical construction, this holds in Austria. Regarding legal allowance, the law is not clear on that, the courts so far have declined to give opinion and the legislative the same.
