highway=pedestrian bicycle=destination Though I question your city planner's desicion to allow alleyway access to homes via car; to date no high density development that has attempted this in the US has been successful, usually it dies a horrible death when the alleyways get congested. Exclusively car-free communities have been far more successful in the US by comparison; I think LA needs to address the underlying problem of moving more people instead of moving more vehicles before they can even think about high-density development. > I was busily converting these from "residential street" to > "pedestrian," when I came across work by someone else who was using > "footway." Which do you think is correct? I don't care (though I > think the dotted red line for "footway" looks cooler on the rendered > map than the grey of "pedestrian"). I just want to get it right. Don't tag for the renderer, you can always run your own renderer to get the appearance you want for your map. _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies
