I agree, it is confusing. I've used the separate way method quite extensively in a suburban (subdivision) area. Perhaps I could create some illustrations, though since I'm not much of an artist it will probably be just screenshots. In the meantime you can see my area here: http://osm.org/go/ZZcEbGicI-
Note I am using sloped_curb=yes right now, but will likely change them to kerb=lowered. I also haven't used relations yet, as my primary interest is routing, however I'm not concerned about providing for directions like "turn left on Roberts Parkway". -Josh On Fri, Mar 25, 2011 at 11:07 AM, SomeoneElse <li...@mail.atownsend.org.uk> wrote: > Er - I'm confused. > > We've now got: > http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Sidewalk > http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Sidewalk_as_separate_way > http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/sloped_curb > http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/kerb > http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Hanska/Sidewalk > http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Hanska/Sidewalk_old > http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:footway > and probably others. > > People were suggesting incorporating features of: > http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relation:associatedStreet > (which redirects to Proposed features/House numbers/Karlsruhe Schema) > > And in addition to the discussion on this list there's a parallel discussion > taking place here: > http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Proposed_features/Sidewalk > > I can understand > http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Sidewalk > (it's what I do now, although with "footway=" rather than "sidewalk=") > > What I don't yet understand is the workflow associated with the > "Sidewalk_as_separate_way" proposal.
