This would really confuse I think. This problem normally comes from those
rectangular green areas between buildings that turns out to be just
backyards to apartment buildings. I don't think mapnik would render this
correctly...

Also, you can't always tell if you actually can walk there, it may be one of
those in-between-building areas that are completely inaccessible.
