How about:<br>
<br>
sidewalk=right<br>
sidewalk:right:kerb=no<br>
sidewalk:right:surface=asphalt <br>
<br>
The most important thing is to tag whether there is a sidewalk or not. Regardless of whether it has a keen or not.<br>
<br>
According to taginfo, sidewalk:right:kerb is already used a few times:<br>
