Fortunately our tags aren't based on what you would call things (nor mine - I certainly wouldn't call a sidewalk a footway or a highway!). Are you saying this is not a highway=sidewalk, but it would be a legally recognized sidewalk if it were in Florida? "part of a highway" - check; "set aside for the use of pedestrians" - check; "often separated from the carriageway (or roadway) by a kerb (also curb)" - check. "portion of a street" - check; "between the curbline, or the lateral line, of a roadway and the adjacent property lines" - check; "intended for use by pedestrians" - check. Seems to meet both definitions to me. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
