<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Hi all,<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I’ve just posted this on the Wiki discussion page (<a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Tag:highway%3Dpedestrian#.22For_town_centres_and_civic_areas.22" target="_blank">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Tag:highway%3Dpedestrian#.22For_town_centres_and_civic_areas.22</a>)
but the thread is a little old and I know not everyone reads the Wiki anyway…<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I’m wondering at what point, if at all, a highway=footway becomes highway=pedestrian (i.e., a pedestrian area)?<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have an example (<a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/365487665#map=18/52.44601/-1.81904" target="_blank">https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/365487665#map=18/52.44601/-1.81904</a>) of a sidewalk that has been mapped as a pedestrian area. It is certainly
quite wide (around 7-8 m in places) and is located within a town centre/civic area. It even has painted markings (since COVID-19 pandemic began) splitting the direction of travel for pedestrians - though this is, of course, entirely ignored by everyone walking
there. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">However, it is, fundamentally, just a wide paved area for pedestrians that runs parallel and adjacent to the main carriageway (road) – i.e. a sidewalk.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Do we define particularly wide sidewalks as pedestrian areas? They do seem to match most of the criteria listed on the Wiki but it doesn’t seem to quite fit for me.</p></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I certainly don't see anything wrong with this pedestrian way since there is also a routable highway=path in the middle. (highway=footway + footway=sidewalk would be better) It does show that there is a wide pedestrian way which is accurate. Without the routable path, then just a highway=pedestrian will block people from using it. (I've heard of one proprietary router that does route on areas but I'm not aware of any open source router that does.) </div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div>Clifford</div></div><div><br></div>-- <br><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div>@osm_washington<br></div><div><a href="https://www.snowandsnow.us" target="_blank">www.snowandsnow.us</a></div><div>OpenStreetMap: Maps with a human touch</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
