</div>That seems to make sense and is how I have been mapping vehicle ferry<br>
routes.<br>
<br>
However I'm not quite sure what to do with ferry routes which are for foot<br>
passengers and available for cyclists, but not for motorcars..<br>
Following the logic above I would connect the ferry route to the nearest<br>
highway with a footway tag. Although this would allow routing for cyclists<br>
and pedestrians this seems "wrong" to me. <br></blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><br>

I have not conncted to the highway down the pier, as it would produce short<br>
stubs of footway rendered on the maps which really are just corridors<br>
through buildings, but this means at the moment the ferry route is<br>
unconnected to anything.</blockquote><div><br>I see nothing wrong with footways that go through buildings. If cars can do it then so can pedestrians:<br><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_2W-5R6f4mDY/RodmdahXYTI/AAAAAAAAA-k/NxiOetEt7Uo/DSC00248.JPG">http://lh4.ggpht.com/_2W-5R6f4mDY/RodmdahXYTI/AAAAAAAAA-k/NxiOetEt7Uo/DSC00248.JPG</a><br>
