Germany and Italy as well (motorroads and motorways excluded).
Sooner or later we might add sidewalk=no tags to many roads in the countryside
(maybe, so long I wasn’t actually doing it). There may be a fundamental
conflict of the StreetComplete project (which encourages to verify everything)
and our usually sloppy way of assuming defaults. Problem is with lots of
“boring” tags on every object, we’ll loose focus/overview and it might reduce
data quality rather than augmenting it. I acknowledge some compromise is
already offered by asking only for roads without sidewalks, but it is still too
many, if it were only in built-up areas it would be probably acceptable (for
Italy or Germany).
Cheers, Martin
