Hello, Should I map sidewalks? If yes - how? Using highway=footway? Pros: adding valuable data for pedestrian routing Cons: adding very large amount of data to OSM, every street usually have 2 sidewalks (on each side), greatly increasing increasing number of junctions (between streets and sidewalks). The rendered tiles could look messy and overcrowded. If there is a place with tagged sidewalks, could you provide a link to it so I could see how it is done? |

There is a image of the week about this: lot of footway. In my mind sidewalks are just an other lane on the street. Street not just limited on asphalted part. So I think sidewalks may be tag like cycleway are. But this is not yet explored. This is my point of view today, need to be tested. 2
I have been tagging sidewalks that run parallel to roads as sidewalk=left/right/both/none. I believe that separate drawing has value only when there are a network of sidewalks running in all directions.

There was a discussion about this on talk-au earlier this year.
Good discussion!
