So we need a way to determine the crossability of a road for walkers and
cyclists, probably using a combination of highway value of the crossed way,
maybe the access tag (foot=yes probably can be crossed on foot) and some
indicator tag for crossing access (foot:crossing=yes/no ?) to tag exceptions.
Currently I do map short footways/paths where I know pedestrians will cross the
road, even when no physically marked crossing exists. Opposite lowered kerbs or
the fact that nearby dirt paths exists at both sides, not too far apart,
already is a luxury.
