<p>Venice situation is unusual but not unique and in other contexts
different tagging schemes have been used, not limited by the
footway/pedestrian alternative.</p>
<p>As an example see how this road in Mackinac Island (<i>no motor
vehicles there...</i>) is tagged:
<a class="gmail-m_-1849142637998330521moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/17874338" target="_blank">https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/17874338</a></p>
<p>I've seen others too, but OTOMH I can't remember where, probably
France (<i>possibly St. Malo...</i>) and/or Netherland, but by
Googling for "pedestrian town/city" and then checking on OSM,
several pops up...<br>

I agree somehow that you can find similar conditions in historic centres in areas with hills (i.e. lots of steps as well). Usually we would not tag anything smaller than at least 3-4 meters as pedestrian road, for sure not a footway where even a wheelchair can't pass due to the width (like the 50cm example I gave above).</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Martin<br></div></div>
