This made me open gmail :) There are three questions: I marked them up in the quote above. My take on 3) It is a tagging error, if foot=use_sidepath was meant. 2) If foot=use_sidepath was meant, you still should not change your software, because 1) the tagging might be correct and not in error, in case there was a sign on the road, that explicitly prohibited pedestrians from the carriageway, like the wiki says. I can conceive of a case, where even without a sign changing the software would be wrong: A motorway tunnel. They have sidewalks, to escape in case of accidents. And guess what, foot=no applies to the sidewalk! Asa _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
