<div class="">Looking for some advice in Bletchley, specifically, but to answer a more general point about footpaths.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Please look at <a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/51.99530/-0.73751" class="">

<div class="">Bletchley Rail Station sits in the middle, and to the west is the main road, which is Sherwood Drive. There is also a footpath shown coming from the station and along the eastern side of Sherwood Drive, but not on the western side.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">This feels very wrong to me on a number of levels. For starters, the footpath doesn’t connect to Sherwood Drive except at the bottom, so it isn’t apparent that you can cross the road to go along Selwyn Grove, for example. Also, there is no footpath
going north, nor is there a footpath on the western side of Sherwood Drive, despite it being quite clearly there on Streetview. In addition, Sherwood Drive already has the tag <font face="Courier New" class="">Sidewalk=both </font>which rather makes the footpath
redundant, doesn’t it?</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">My inclination would be to rip out the footpath and rely on the sidewalk tag, except that seems extreme and it isn’t wrong
<i class="">per se.</i></div>
<div class=""><i class=""><br class="">
</i></div>
<div class="">So what is the guidance here? Ought the road have a distinct footpath both sides? Or not footpath, and use the tags on the road, or just connecting spurs from the footpath to the road at key points (e.g. opposite Selwyn Grove), or what…?</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Thanks</div>
