I agree, may I suggest these defaults: motorway : sidewalk=none trunk : sidewalk=none primary : sidewalk=none secondary : sidewalk=both tertiary : sidewalk=both residential: sidewalk=both track : sidewalk=none > I think it makes sense to have footway/sidewalk=none as default for > most/all highways.

I would be very surprised to find out there are many more residential roads without sidewalks than there are with. Having sidewalk=both by default for residential seems like a *VERY* sane value, since in most residential areas people are expected to do a lot of walking, so sidewalks would be very common. -- Regards, EddyP ============================================= "Imagination is more important than knowledge" A.Einstein
