It sometimes happens that an urban footpath runs alongside a road for a short distance, providing a link between the path and the road that is not at any single point. I have mapped these links by creating a short linking footpath at one or more points, so that a routing engine will know that it is possible to walk from the path to the road. An [An example of that type of path is at http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/50.80627/-1.16764. path](http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/50.80627/-1.16764). Is there a better way of showing such links?
