What did the original mapper(s) hope to indicate by the use of this tag?

Comment from DaveF
Unsure, as they're mainly old edits & there's no wiki info. Appears to be mostly symbiotic with highway=* tags.
Would reintroducing the tag add benefit to the OSM database? -
Comment from SomeoneElse
I'd definitely suggest asking the people who actually added the tag. There are 1400+ examples here; you must be able to find someone who added the tag who is still mapping.

If it actually meant something to the original mapper, yes - even if it's not a great way to express whatever that concept was.
Without that level of investigation this is just an undiscussed automated edit and liable to be reverted.

The main protagonist last edited 7 years ago. In my experience they either fail to reply or say they can't remember.
There are a total of 24 examples left world wide. -

Hang on, I'm still awaiting response from the person who added this duplicating irrelevant tag which no one else uses. You haven't proved it serves any purpose.
