Hi Martin,
PS – Is a meadow ‘used mainly or exclusively by pedestrians’? I think not, likewise is a carpark ‘used mainly or exclusively by pedestrians’ – again I think not. If there is a well worn path through the meadow then yes, or if there are designated footways through the carpark then yes they should also be added…in my opinion.

Mai 2019 um 11:44 Uhr schrieb Phil Wyatt <[email protected]>: Hi Folks, As a relatively new OSM editor, I tend to agree with the explicit tagging rather than implicit - it should help folks learn tags much faster The problem is that a platform is not a footway, at least not universally. People can also walk over meadows, following this logics we should be suggesting to add highway=footway to all meadows? Or amenity=parking? I agree, this should not become suggested tagging. It is so sad the issue has been closed in the github tracker because of too many people complaining (politely) about a developer decision. Closing issues because of disagreement is toxic behaviour and it is understandable it makes people worrying. Cheers, Martin
