Hello, As per https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Sidewalks#Sidewalk_as_separa te_way I started mapping the sidewalks that run along the main roads, but are physically separated from the carriage with more than a curb - http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/gKo
Should the highway=* with separate highway=footway/footway=sidewalk be tagged as sidewalk=no? Now, routing via Grasshopper and Mapzen will direct you to the road without a sidewalk just because you want to turn before the crossing (instead of going a safer route via pedestrian crossing with traffic signals): https://graphhopper.com/maps/?point=42.506496%2C-83.42391&point=42.4836 81%2C-83.417076&locale=en- US&vehicle=foot&weighting=fastest&elevation=true&layer=Omniscale http://www.openstreetmap.org/directions?engine=mapzen_foot&route=42.505 9%2C-83.4242%3B42.4837%2C-83.4172#map=17/42.49893/-83.41971 The sidewalk "islands" are in the real world as well, forcing you to seek alternative route through the grass/bushes or cross a 45 mph street.
