I agree that foot_unsafe=yes would probably be a good compromise, as it would say, "yes, you can go this way, but it is risky.". This would be particularly suitable for routes that are riskier under some conditions than others, such as roads with narrow shoulders, risky to walk on after dark.

Perhaps the best way to think of this is foot_unsafe=yes if it is likely to be a bad idea... _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk -- John F.
