“Sidewalk” is North American English, but it’s used because the British term is “pavement”, which is confusing due to its dual meaning. As a North American I would expect it to be separated from the road by a curb (kerb) or a strip of grass. Oxford dictionaries definition, Pavement: "1. British A

I think in bicycle-OSM we have kind of an tacitly agreed approach: bicycle lanes (divided from motorised traffic by a painted line) are generally mapped on the road way whereas separate parallel cycleways are tagged either on the road way or as separate way, with the former often being the first,

We have a widely used scheme for tagging cycle lanes/paths on the road way: cycleway=lane|track with variants. Extrapolating from that for the pedestrian "lane" seems obvious to me: sidewalk=lane (plus variants). For separate sidewalks there is sidewalk=yes (plus variants) Why invent something
