Hi Tom
I'll also add my voice here, as I've been working on "sidewalks" in my
area as well: I agree with your summary.
I try to add sidewalks for precise pedestrian routing (with safe
crossing) and improved routing for wheelchair users (adding curb tags)
and visually impaired users (adding
Thanks for the feedback.
Just to summarise my reading of the replies, it sounds like there is:
1. a preference for separately mapped sidewalks (highway=footway +
footway=sidewalk)
2. no harm in also adding tags to the road (sidewalk:both=separate, or
sidewalk:left=separate /

Yeah if both sides are the same, then that's better.
PS in case someone hasn't found it yet, JOSM has a map style called
"Sidewalks and footways (with knobs on)" which helps visualising when
editing.

I normally do separate ways, because it's easier to more accurately map
the topology.
I just pretend I'm pushing a wheelbarrow (or stroller or am using a
wheelchair) and wonder what sort of connectivity and data I'd want to be
able to navigate. For instance, it might be possible as you say
and
sidewalks, that way the sidewalks have a high level of connectivity with the
road.

I've been using the current lockdown to walk and cycle all of the
streets of my LGA (Willoughby), and I've been checking back to OSM to
see if there's anything needing updating. For the most part it's just
minor edits here and there.
I had a couple of questions, one of which I'll address in
