Both ways are only applicable to cities with blocky structure.
In ex-USSR, architecture of cities is different, and footways / sidewalks graph 
is more complicated than a replica of roads for cars, so all the sidewalks have 
to be drawn separately.

There are sidewalks (alongside roads) and other footpaths, just like everywhere 
else (but in different proportions). You can decide to draw the sidewalks 
separately or not (like anywhere else), while you have in any case to draw the 
independent footways with their own geometry.

To understand an architecture of a city, especially of a sidewalks system, we should realize that it was formed to a large degree by the auto industry lobbying [1]. Obviously, in North America and Western Europe this process began several decades earlier than in Eastern Europe, so sidewalks and footpaths system is indeed somewhat different.


However, an emerging global trend of Walkable Development is starting to transform cities once again [2].
