I think I should add that in Germany we have thousands of these<br>
ways, and I am very sure that most of them are paved.<br>
The reason is that Germany is full of signs like 237 , 241, and 242<br>
(see <a href="http://osmtools.de/traffic_signs/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://osmtools.de/traffic_signs/</a>)<br>
and that page still recommends to use the tags "highway=path" and<br>
"bicycle=designated" for them. In Germany a cyclist has to use these<br>
ways, so you can be pretty sure that they are paved.<br>
<br>
So, maybe we can add an exception for Germany?<br>
