This would require a huge amount of retagging. (There are currently over 1.5 millions uses of sidewalk=*.)

"yes" isn't the only value of sidewalk=*, there's also "right", "left", "both", "no" (plus "none") and "separate". [1] This isn't compatible with sidewalk=lane. Why not inventing something different for a different feature? :) [1]: As well as some less useful values like "this" (156 uses!?), "bad", "both;right", "right;none", "10" or "forest". :D Markus _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
