+1. A sidewalk or even just a footway is a separate way, whereas the striped area is really just a shoulder. Of course you'd want to make sure you connect the other footways to the roads, so a router can send someone along this strip. In the future someone might tag the section of road with something like "shoulder:width=4 ft", "shoulder:surface=asphalt", "shoulder:type=striped", etc., which routers could use to determine the safety level this section. -Josh _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
