Hi,

This is a corollary discussion to the one raised earlier this week about 
unprotected pedestrian lanes. 
Even in protected pedestrian paths and sidewalks, it is useful to know what 
kind of borders the path has.

Is it buffered by grass streetside?
Is there a wall on one side?
Is there a kerb/curb streetside?

The discussion about pedestrian lanes focused both on access (who has right of 
way) and paint vs. keen barrier; i.e., specifically about whether the 
pedestrian path was/was not merely marked by paint markers. I believe we should 
suggest a tag that more generally would allow description of what 
protection/border demarcates the lane. 

Assuming pedestrian paths as entities 
(highway = footway
footway = sidewalk/footpath, etc)

is there current support for describing the path borders by a tag like:
footway:border:streetside = kerb/paint/grass/brick/wall/vegetation

Regards,
Anat
