Hello, I am the author of a data consumer which generates a list of streets that are accessible to walkers and joggers. The idea is that a user would have a map of the streets in their town and can challenge themselves to walk/jog down every street, and they can look at statistics on which streets they've completed. I use a 25-meter rule, so if a user can walk along the shoulder, or on a sidewalk/pavement, or in the verge, that's acceptable.
I recently came across an unexpected tagging combination and I would like to understand how folks in various places would interpret this: highway=<whatever> foot=no sidewalk=separate In my software's logic, I've made the assumption that foot=* applies to "the whole of the road" including the roadway, shoulders, verge, sidewalks, and so forth and thus excluded any roads that include that tag, regardless of other tagging. I came to understand that this tagging was used by a mapper to indicate that "pedestrians are not allowed on the roadway, however, they are allowed on the sidewalk" Would folks regard that as accurate data modeling? I.e. should I change my software to treat streets tagged in this way as pedestrian-accessible, or would folks regard this combination as a tagging error?
