highway=footway + bicycle=designated looses dashed style

[aceman]

highway=footway + bicycle=yes has a dashed green/purple style. When bicycle is changed to 'designated' it changed to green only.

If it's designated for bikes, why would you tag it as highway=footway?

[mkoniecz]

It should be possible to notice that others tagged it this way.

"bicycle=designated should not be on highway=footway" should be checked by validator.

Because it is also foot=designated. Even both '=official' as it is marked by a traffic sign that both modes of transport have to use it. So should it be =footway or =cycleway? But there is no marking on the ground so it looks like a normal footway in that city. It is a footway that got bikes allowed and redirected to it. It is not a true cycleway by design.

Does the wiki specify this in any way?

[skyper]

Just tag it as highway=path + foot=designated and bicycle=designated. It is neither footway nor cycleway but a path for both modes. You could add segregated=* to define one more detail.

OK, that does work (gets purple dashes again).

It is just counter-intuitive, that changing =yes to =designated (a stronger preference) makes the color less (or no) of the purple bicycle color. It simply looks that the JOSM style does not recognize the 'designated' value.

Replying to mkoniecz:

"bicycle=designated should not be on highway=footway" should be checked by validator.

seems to be the best way to fix this ticket.

In 8117/josm:

fix #10186 - add validator warning for highway=footway together with bicycle=designated

[skyper]

Same problem with highway=cycleway and foot=designated but I also found #9250 which requested some "fix" action.

I thought about this but according to ​tag:highway=cycleway#Foot_access_on_cycleways it seems there are different rules in some countries and highway=cycleway + foot=designated is a valid combination there. (There are 86.000 of these combinations ​http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/highway=cycleway#combinations)
