There are no official rulings in OpenStreetMap. Consensus develops
when mappers use and document tags in a consistent way.
This is probably the best forum for this question overall, though you

Hello everyone
I have a disagreement with another mapper (changeset comments in
German [1]) regarding the mapping of pedestrian lanes, i.e. lanes on a
roadway reserved for pedestrians (example [2]), and would like to hear
more opinions.

How should areas of bare soil, such as badlands, be tagged?
Currently there are documented tags for dry areas of bedrock, stones and sand:
natural=bare_rock, natural=shingle, natural=scree, and natural=sand
For tidal areas, beaches and wetlands there's also natural=beach,
natural=shoal and wetl

has a description:
"Badlands are a type of dry terrain where softer sedimentary rocks and
clay-rich soils have been extensively eroded by wind and water. ...
They are characterized by steep slopes, minimal vegetation" and thin
I'm not against natural=badlands for areas that are covered by a non
vegetated surface in an erosive context with steep slopes (as per
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Badlands). Anyway they seem to be a more
specific case than a "simple" bare soil.
I think that, in general, when dealing with lan

however, there are a lot of narrow roads in Japan where the side of the r
