Hi<br>
<br>
Overpass query in Greater London:<br>
nwr["highway"~"footway|cycleway|path|pedestrian"][area=yes] = 1949<br>
nwr["area:highway"~"footway|cycleway|path|pedestrian"] = 40<br>
<br>
If I see a highway=footway + area=yes, I always convert it to
highway=pedestrian + area=yes, which is documented in the wiki &
renders on the 'standard' map.<br>
<br>
I would be happy to see highway=footway + area=yes not render. It
would speed up the conversion rate.<br>
<br>
Having the most instances isn't a reason not to change the tagging
scheme, but there has to be a justifiable reason; an improvement in
usability. Concatenating keys doesn't do that.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>

As highway=footway etc. tags are set to "should not be used on
areas" on Wiki, and mapping them in combination with area=yes is
not documented at all and considered as wrong tagging by part of
users, there is a key "area:highway=*" (133k uses at the moment).
Part of users still map footway areas as a combination anyway,
propably because it's rendered by default style. Due to our rules,
that we shouldn't have 2 active tagging schemes for the same
feature, so we should discuss this topic.

<div>I vote for area:highway=* key, because it's simpler, and it
gives a possibility to show also street areas with crossings in
the future.
