Dear all, The voting on the proposal for a new key pedestrian_lane=* for lanes designated for pedestrians is over. 8 people voted for the proposal, 5 against it and 1 person abstained. This is an approval by 62%, which is below the required 75% majority. Therefore the proposal has been rejected.
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Pedestrian_lane The following reasons for opposing the proposal were given: - footway[:left/right]=lane should be used instead of the proposed pedestrian_lane=left/right/both. (mentioned twice) - More discussion is needed. (mentioned twice) - Disagreement with the definition of sidewalk=* being a raised or otherwise physically separated footpath at the side of a road. (mentioned once) In my opinion, footway[:left/right]=lane isn't a good idea for the following reasons: 1. footway=lane is a contradiction, as a lane (part of a road/path) isn't a footway (separate path). 2. sidewalk=left/right/both and footway[:left/right]=lane would have two different syntaxes, which were confusing. 3. lane would be the only value which were a departure from the usual tag syntax where the value is variable and the key remains constant. Many thanks to the (unfortunately rather few) people who took part in the vote.
