[Sent from a phone] Hi all,
To begin with positive side of things, big thank you Meg to propose a consistent and scalable scheme out of this mess. I completely agree with the current lack of consistency and would like to encourage the search of better description and network approach What about situations when pavement areas are drawn with areas + multi polygon involving buildings around a whole block ? Should the ways you propose come over this ? Philp, Pavement deduction from roads is a pain and often footway=* tags won't suit the mappers needs according of what seen in situation. What about a road where pavement are regularly separated with several square meters of grass ? Even if people can cross the roads wherever they want, routing engines should only encourage them to do so on protected crossings. This is just because they will always be able to cross there even in case of traffic jam and the time given for a foot trip have to take care of it. All the best !
