only one. With a Garmin device it was worse.</li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Some of the paths and cycleways tagged as part of the highway precede the individual paths.</li></ol>

<p class="MsoNormal">On a different point the other user said he checked with the OSM Telegram account and people said it was ok to map separately. I don’t think it’s great to have two different places to discuss issues, or at the very least publish what was
decided on the wiki so that people know what decisions were made.</p>

<div dir="auto">Hi Dave!</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
Thanks for raising this.
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">These are the type of quality issues we are hoping for the Quality Working Group (yet to be formally launched) to take a role in. I've CCed Colm who has worked on lots of quality issues over time and may be able to contribute to this discussion.</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">Do we know how widespread the issue is? There have been a few academic efforts in small geographic areas to map paths separately to capture access data.
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">In relation to how to proceed from here: with the increased funding for walking and cycling during the current government, there is a lot of interest in capturing data of completed projects, etc. I personally think that separate mapping makes
sense if there are people willing to put the work in to capture and maintain it. There are lots of corner cases involving infrastructure being installed in a manner which results in separate mapping making sense.</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">I would suggest the following next steps:</div>
<div dir="auto">- Discussion on best practice / community consensus on how to map (this email thread)</div>
<div dir="auto">- Update of wiki documentation</div>
<div dir="auto">- Data analysis to understand where these issues exist</div>

Hi,<br>
<br>
An issue came up with the mapping of paths next to roads. If recall correctly it was on the wiki (or possibly somewhere else) that it was agreed to only map paths that were not beside a road or where there was cycleway running counter-flow to traffic. At some
point people started mapping paths individually and now we have a mix of where the ‘sidewalk’ is mapped in the highway tag and some individual paths. Admittedly the wiki allows for both,
<a href="https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwiki.openstreetmap.org%2Fwiki%2FSidewalks&data=05%7C01%7C%7C6452d2b5f8cd4a9275a108db0b6ac19d%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638116325354180695%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=NdALtON3TrvZGAATeT2iwJCmyobuu6pP%2BclPXBn6pco%3D&reserved=0" data-auth="Verified" originalsrc="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Sidewalks" shash="uG0kw/APAK8tbewDUQRnOG+U+2qoT7Us48phOYorB6Oqb5GYApYa4WZ12VnjtiaknV3Ct+dNDHKE+7hEz4hzpZKvfFYnHlp6jCf1j7DHMjhRwmF+nmFN6aaNaaZvrqM7/Xx0+rAQYeyJev/mdDvZ1LRza0appOMqvVHVnjYMuuQ=">
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Sidewalks</a> , but I don’t remember a discussion on changing to individual path mapping.<br>
<br>
So if it was discussed and a decision was made can the Ireland wiki page be updated with this? If there is no consensus currently then I think it would better to reach one now.<br>
