"deprecated" for *ME*. Just because I separately thought at that proposal before, without looking at the wiki: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Hanska/Sidewalk_old > > What David proposed, and what I'm interested in, is mapping the > > sidewalk as a separate way from the road.

To tag a sidewalk: highway=footway footway=sidewalk That's it. You can add more tags to define crossings and sidewalk properties (think of wheelchair=yes, or width=, or [..]).

As mentioned in the Sidewalk tag, we already have > highway=footway, which is what David's proposal would largely change, Change? My proposal would not change footway's meaning, since, to define a sidewalk, you need to add "footway=sidewalk". > rather than an additional tag on roads. In other words, this is a tag > about roads, not footways. No. Sidewalks *ARE* *NOT* roads. Don't take it bad, but I wish you were more cooperative. I have real life issues right now, and promised to make a "proper proposal" on Wednesday/Thursday. You can't wait two days? Well, I'm going to vote against your proposal. Note, however, that this is a bit rude of you; you want to introduce a badly designed tagging scheme and waste everyone's resources/time here. David -- . ''`.
