IMO it's not an incorrect footway, anywhere you can legally use as a sidewalk should be mapped. Just put surface=grass if that's the case :-) For example, here I've tagged the sidewalks as surface=grass http://www.nearmap.com/?ll=-34.854348,138.535446&z=22&t=h&nmd=20100614 http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/54512800 _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
