I don't think the creators of footway=sidewalk gave much thought to this. On the proposal page, they call footway=sidewalk "a different but not necessarily conflicting way to tag sidewalks". > *They include or not include informal desire lines created by walking on the > grass strip on the side of the road? I think the answer is neither. They neither explicitly include nor explicitly exclude this. > If there's no agreement on the latter, there's no point in using the > sidewalk tags. Feel free not to use them. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
