[Tagging] Sidewalk Tagging for Routing

[Gerd Petermann]

And this problem is not easy to solve by programs.

Up to now I don't know any efficient algo that allows to

find the nearest named road that goes parallel

to a selected unnamed way. It would be of great help

here.

Another issue with routing along pavements ("sidewalks") as separate ways is
the name tag. IME pavement-mappers rarely add the street name to the
pavement/sidewalk, but in fact the name applies to the pavement/sidewalk as
much as to the bicycle/car lanes. "Walk along unnamed footway then turn left
onto unnamed footway" is a less helpful direction than "Walk along Broad
Street then turn left onto Cornmarket Street". (The ref, on the other hand,
usually applies only to the bicycle/car lanes.)



very true. The same issue often occurs with cycleways (omitted names).

Cheers,
Martin
