Just as a point of information, this isn't actually true. As far as I am aware, the only UK legal use of the term footWAY is to refer to what I would call a pavement and you might call a sidewalk. The "particular legal status" to which you refer is actually applied to the legal term "footpath", and the OSM tag highway=footway in the UK does not, of itself, imply that a path is a Public Right of Way (and hence a legal footpath). s _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
