I agree, but it should not be done at the expense of pedestrian mapping. Using the existing style of highway attributes should be the way to achieve this, not adding parallel ways which do not exist on the ground. We should not be changing the database just because the existing system is too comlicated for new mappers. > > As long as we map the crosswalks and map a sidewalk's route across > the road (regardless of if there is a marked signal controlled > crosswalk) then it should be possible to route people across the > streets where there is a road that crosses a street w/o a crosswalk, > right? > > It would be better to have people walk 1/2 a block longer and use the > crosswalks then having them try to jump across a road. I have no concept of how far a block is, but you seem to be assuming that crosswalks exist everywhere.
