sure. It's a project for the future, when everything is already mapped ;-), say next year. > Also, how will a routing engine know if a way without parallel > footways is one without pavements or one where the local mapper hasn't entered > all of them in? Well, it can't know it. But currently it can't know it neither. > Can we not assume that every highway except rural trunk roads and motorway has > a sidewalk, unless it has an additional tag like sidewalk=no? no, you better asume almost nothing, because the world is too big and complex to make such assumptions. Or even foot=no! no, foot=no when it is forbidden. On a road without pavement you can still walk, but it's less pleasant (and probably more dangerous). cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
