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 Sent from my mobile.
