I wrote about one here:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/SomeoneElse/diary/38136

The basic idea is:

1) Split secondary, tertiary, and unclassified roads with sidewalks into 
new values such as "secondary_sidewalk" etc.:

https://github.com/SomeoneElseOSM/SomeoneElse-style/blob/sidewalk/style.lua#L230

2) Render "secondary_sidewalk" etc. with a narrower fill (and hence 
wider casing)

https://github.com/SomeoneElseOSM/openstreetmap-carto-AJT/blob/sidewalk/roads.mss#L1114

Other approaches are also possible (e.g. do it all in SQL) - I remember 
pnorman writing about that recently.

Cheers,

Andy
