I'm editing a residential area in the US that has many sidewalks (tagged as *highway=footway*) `highway=footway`) with curb cuts (sloped curbs) allowing access to the road. In a number of locations these curb cuts come in pairs, and what I do to link them is create a way tagged *highway=crossing* `highway=crossing` between them. I use 5 nodes, two nodes in common with the footway/sidewalk, one node in common with the road, and one node on each of the curb cuts (which are tagged *sloped_curb=yes*). `sloped_curb=yes`). **My question is what to do if I don't have a pair of curb cuts**, but simply access to the road itself (near parking). Tagging the way as *highway=crossing* `highway=crossing` doesn't seem appropriate, but neither does *highway=footway*. `highway=footway`. I will do three nodes for the ways, one in common each with the road and the footway, and one for the curb cut. **A related question is what to do when I have multiple curb cuts near each other**. Crossings between each of them doesn't make sense to me, since it's a residential road people can cross between any of them, including diagonally. Should I just connect to a common node on the road?
