Oh I see, so any shared paths along a roadway should be a sidewalk with the tags “highway: footway”, and “bicycle: yes” rather than designated? Also a shared path with some degree of segregation but not enough to be a seperate cycleway from the sidewalk such as this changeset should simply be a sidewalk with the same tags i’ve already been using instead of a shared path? (I’m using the iD editor which has presets which is what I refer to when I mean sidewalk, shared path, bike path, etc, and I’m aware that that is different from other editors so may cause some confusion).

If that is the case that I’m understanding the guide correctly I’ll start on modifying my changes I’ve made here and in other places, of course it will take some time. Thanks for clarifying :)
