I would use footway, along with bridge=yes , despite the fact that it doesn't 
span between 2 points.    Also layer=1 since it's above the ground.   It can be 
useful to tag the surface=wood (or whatever), since wood can be slippery when 
wet.

Subject: [OSM-newbies] Evalated Walkways


I'm mapping the Elavated walk way up to the observation tower in Salcey Forest.

http://www.forestry.gov.uk/salceyforest

I am having difficulty finding a good tag for the walk way, which is a 
wood/steel construction leading up to an observation tower.

It's off the raised off the ground, the closest I can come up with is a bridge 
except that the walk way doesn't lead anywhere except the tower, you then have 
to follow the same route back down to ground level.

Can anyone suggest a good set of tags for it?

You might need to give that openstreetmap link an hour, I only submitted the 
edit at 1320.

Thanks in advanced
Trevor
