This is not the OSMF becoming involved in tagging :-) I'm guilty
of quite a bit of sidewalk mapping, even though I have some
sympathy for a generalized approach (adding a tag to the main road
way). In reality, at least here, this tends not to model the
actual topology particularly well. I do a fair bit off inline
skating route mapping and sidewalks tend to be even more important
than for pedestrians.<br>
<br>
Paths that really have the character of sidewalks I tag with
highway=footway footway=sidewalk this allows renderers and routers
to ignore them if they so please. The only tricky part is to
remember to connect paths that cross the sidewalk not just to it,
but to the road itself too, and add extra connections where
appropriate (roads branching off or crossing the main road).<br>

<div dir="ltr">Certainly your first move should be to
contact the user, gently point her/him to the consensus

Is there a general OSM policy on marking sidewalks
as highway=footway?<br>
User dolphinling appears to have gone crazy in
downtown Burlington,VT<br>
tracing the sidewalks and calling them footways.
Which wouldn't be a<br>
problem if footways weren't so cartographically
distinct in everyone's<br>
