"A sidewalk (also sometimes footway/pavement/footpath/platform) is that part of a highway set aside for the use of pedestrians, often separated from the carriageway (or roadway) by a kerb (also curb)." "That portion of a street between the curbline, or the lateral line, of a roadway and the adjacent property lines, intended for use by pedestrians." Seems pretty much identical to me. Part of a highway/street, set aside for / intended for use by, pedestrians. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
