_Mainly_, I have concerns about the concept of a cycle path or foot
path being attendant to or a sidepath of another road.
In Norway, we no longer have cycle paths and foot paths. We have
cycleways, footways and carriageways. It may seem like a small
difference in terminology, but it makes a large difference as part of
an overall mindset. Roads are roads, and different types of roads are
simply meant for different types of travel.
I get your point, but that's not how urban planning and development
usually thinks and works (unfortunately). In the reality of the vast
majority of places in the world, a "street" is considered to consist
of a central carriageway (mostly with motorised traffic) and side
paths for walking or cycling that are related to each other. Both
physically and, let's say, athmospherically.
I know the thinking exists. But it's not formalised or even explicitly
acknowledged anywhere that I know of, so I would hesitate to formalise
and codify the thinking in OSM when no one else (that I know of) is
doing that. Hence, I'd like your thoughts on the principle, and would
like to better understand which practical issues you are trying to solve.
Cheers,
Jens
