Not four lanes, two times two lanes ;-) > http://www.osm.org/?lat=50.98727&lon=-0.95844&zoom=16&layers=B000FTF Google Maps shows a way connecting the two footways: http://www.google.com/maps?ll=50.9874,-0.9588&z=20 A crossing of this type outside UK I would say: Pedestrians are guided in this way, that they alway look against traffic. It is a highly recommended feature for security, used at every new tram crossing here in Karlsruhe/Germany. But this road is in UK... Does a continental engineer planned this road? ;-) Or does the old age insurance sponsored this crossing? ;-) > I'd like to include these paths in OSM[1] as they do exist on the ground > but would like to tag them in such a way that their use is discouraged > (e.g. higher cost in routing, warning signs on walking maps).

You should connect and add the way in the middle of the trunk and search something from http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:crossing or discuss a new value there ;-) Heiko "Mueck" Jacobs _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
