There's an abandoned tag for sidewalks along the side of the road that
apparently has some use in the UK:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Footway
http://tagwatch.stoecker.eu/Great_britain/En/tags.html
And there's a nearly identical tag proposal called Sidewalk:
Collapsing the two tags into one seems reasonable, but there should continue to
be a wiki page for whichever tag is discontinued, in order to direct people to
the preferred tag. Sidewalk is the standard term in the USA; from my
reading, both pavement and footway seem to be standard usage in

That's what wiki redirects are for. :)

Hi.
I'm from Germany, and therefore not argumenting with the English
language, but footway is a more general term as distinct ways for
people moving by foot are footways, too.
Ways along or part of a street with main purpose of often motorized
vehicles - a indication for that is, that cars are

Are we just talking about using sidewalk as indicated in the linked
proposals? I've been mapping sidewalks in residential areas near me
as individual ways; they usually run parallel to the road, but
oftentimes are offset by a variable distance, plus I'd like to have
very accurate routing. I've

Based on this thread, there seems to be general consensus that the
term sidewalk is less linguistically ambiguous than footway.
Where folks are concerned about dual meaning, we can ensure that's
resolved via fixing the wiki, checking JOSM presets, and checking
Potlatch/PL2.

I'd like to point out that not all footways are sidewalks.

David,
I like this proposal, it should work well for the areas I've been
mapping. However I have been using the proposed sloped_curb=yes [1],
though I haven't been happy with it. There's also the proposed
kerb=lowered [2], which seems equivalent. I'd say either kerb or ramp
should win out, but I

It's certainly a good idea to limit the scope of a proposal as much as
possible in order to prevent issues from bogging it down.
In my area according to JOSM I've mapped 62 sloped_curb's, 86
crossings, and 16km (10 miles) of sidewalks. You can see it here:

You also have the fact that it may be physically possible to cross from a
sidewalk on one side of the street to the other, due to a lack of barriers, and
yet be inadvisable to do so at certain points (in the middle of a blind curve,
for instance, or on a road that has heavy traffic and lacks
