[Talk-us] labels for roads with or without sidewalks
Dear All, I am new to OSM and wanted to ask a question about sidewalks. From my understanding we do no record sideways because it is assumed that all roads have them. In my experience, this is not true. So would we want to create labels that differentiate roads with sidewalks from roads without sidewalks?

Don't worry that it hasn't been approved, if it's useful use it.

Quick test of JOSM = nope I tried footpath, cycleway, sidewalk = left and it did not alter it at all with reversing the way. Being in the US there is also tiger:zip_left and zip_right that were not changed either. So this is an area that at least JOSM could be improved on.

If you try sidewalk:left=true, it might work. I know someone put some work into automatically switching tags on way reversal, but I'm not sure if it went into a plugin or the core.
