Hello everybody,
as promised, I came back with an "official" proposal.
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Sidewalk_as_separate_way
I tried to summarize what my ideas are, and why I don't believe that tagging
the main road is any good.
To summarize here: to tag a sidewalk:
* highway=footway
* footway=sidewalk
It's that simple.
The basic idea is that sidewalks *are* footways. From the highway=footway page:
"for designated footpaths, i.e. mainly/exclusively for pedestrians". And
sidewalks perfectly fit IMVHO :)
How do you define "sidewalk"?
Is it just pedestrian paths immediately adjacent to a road, with nothing
except a kerb in between?
What if its further away, with grass/barriers/trees etc in between, is
it still a sidewalk?
