Hi

Here in Southend I have a number of boulevards - dual carriageways with large 
central grassed/tree areas. In some cases there are quite clearly defined 
crossing points, and often there will be fences down the middle of the road 
(especially outside schools) to prevent people using anything other than the 
crossing. Here, for example: 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/51.55374/0.66964

In other places (go west from here) there are no defined crossing points, and 
people can, and do, cross anywhere.

We use the data, among other things, to offer pedestrian routing. And it 
clearly makes no sense for a pedestrian to walk for ages up the road to find a 
crossing point and then to walk back again. But the voids in the carriageways 
are just that - voids. What might I fill them with? And would that in itself 
create routing opportunities, or do I need (indeed, am I even allowed) to add 
fictitious footpaths? How would I even do that in a nice way that would obscure 
them from renders?

Thanks
Stuart
