Hello and Welcome to OpenStreetMap.
Can you please state exactly what problem you are trying to resolve and consider that there may be a problem with RunKeeper?
I've just looked at the changes you've made and I can see no real value in them. In fact, the ones that change 'designated' to merely 'yes' actually remove value from the database.
A trunk road in the UK has implied use for foot and cycle traffic so there is no need to add the bicycle=yes, foot=yes tags. Specific cycleways on or by a trunk road should be mapped as they carry specific designations.I would suggest that there was no problem with OSM data and that these changes ought to be reverted.
If I can help please just ask, Regards Bernard

Hi Bernard,
When using the "snap to roads" function on runkeeper it was showing some sections of the A1 as inaccessible and circumventing them, which has been fixed by changing foot access to yes. I don't know how to post screen shots here to show you this. If this has problematic implications for the wider functions of the map then yes, of course, please revert this change. -

Hi, sorry for the delay. The problem then is with Runkeeper as foot=designated should be accepted as meaning foot access is allowed.
Where a path or track is tagged as highway=path, designation=public_footpath then the foot access should be tagged as foot=designated, not as foot=yes.
There are thousands of such ways in the UK, foot=designated shows folk that they are not just allowed on the path but have a right to be there.Regards Bernard

I should have added that it would be advisable to inform Runkeeper of the problem.
