[Tagging] Sidewalk Tagging for Routing

[Gerd Petermann]

It already exists for that but is rarely used, probably because of

the ususal problems:

- Sometimes roads are split to give one part a different name,

the type=street relations are typically ignored.

- Since it is not often used mappers will forget to add a new sidewalk

to such a relation.

Not that much a problem with the relation itself, more one of the

editors which could handle these cases better than they do now.

So has the "street" relation just been born? It could solve some other puzzles as well: dual carriageways, cycle tracks, bridges...

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.


we should ask contributors to add this information explicitly, also because an algorithmic method will never solve all cases.

Cheers,
Martin
