[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - Pedestrian lane

[Clifford Snow]

Markus,
I like your proposal but think it needs to clarify the difference between a
pedestrian lane and a shoulder [1]. In the US, most (many?) states allow
pedestrians to walk on shoulders if there is no sidewalk/footway, with the
exception of motorways. How would a mapper know if this is a shoulder or a
pedestrian lane?

Tomorrow I'm attending a conference on pedestrian mapping and hope to get
the opportunity to discuss pedestrian lanes with our department of
transportation officials.

Best,
Clifford
