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? |

I have the time and map what exists including sidewalks. If sidewalks exist, I do not ignore where people might one day walk. I would prioritize what you map. Perhaps if no roadways/buildings have been mapped, I typically begin there. |
There was a discussion about this on talk-au earlier this year.
Good discussion!
