Should a "generic path" for pedestrians, which is parallel to a street (highway=primary) tagged with name="name of the street" |
|
No. Sidewalks and cycleways parallel to a street usually don't get the name tag. Although naming is not required, they could be tagged as part of long distance path if necessary.

It's true that this is not usually done, but the name of the street accompanied by the footpath is needed for certain use cases such as giving useful directions. So we need some solution for this.

@robbieonsea: I think that's a different point.

Some paths do have names, for example "Central Walk" in Joondalup.

What about footway - sidewalk left / right or both, otherwise there has to be a specific name sign on the path. And take a look here http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Footway sidewalk does not help because in the case footway is already mapped as "generic path / bicycle designated / foot designated". The street is mapped as "highway primary / bicycle no / foot no / name Ben-Gurion-Ring"; all in nuremberg / germany if you want to have a look. So what I like to do is to add the name-tag to the generic path.

hi SomeoneElse has added a link to the way. The bicycle ways are probatly a two way stretch, but dont need the extra name tag. Please take a look here http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Attributierung_von_Stra%C3%9Fen_in_Deutschland#Durchgangsstra.C3.9Fen

From the comments below I suspect that this is the relevant bit of street:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/49.43933/11.11932
yes, but I think that happens often. I think about this because my GPS often tells me turn left on a "Radweg/Fahrradweg" instead of using an name.
