I often map the pavement/sidewalk separately from the main road when there they are separated from it by a stripe of grass, trees or hedges. However, while this allows for a quite detailed mapping of footpaths, it does not look very nice on the map as you end up with many dashed red lines parallel to each road: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=52.4265&lon=-1.94337&zoom=16&layers=B000FTF I am thinking of tagging these footways as highway=pavement/sidewalk (whatever is not ambiguous) so that renderers can distinguish them from normal footways which are not part of a bigger road. This would allow to only show them in very high zoom levels and also to display them in less catching colours. > Or bring the footway out to the end of the tunnel, roughly like so: > | | > -|--|- > \| |/ > | | > | | Here is an example of what this solution would look like on the map: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=52.47213&lon=-1.920605&zoom=18&layers=B000FTF Cheers, Christoph _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
