[Tagging] Pavements that is separated from the carriageway only by a kerb

[marc_marc at mailo.com]

Hello,



The problem is that mapping the sidewalk separately means losing the ability to switch from the pedestrian "lane" to the car lane.
Apart from thinking of a schema to indicate whether or not it is possible to switch from one to the other along the entire length, the pragmatic solution is to create a highway=* *=link section at this point.



Regards,

Marc

Hi all, 

I am having a problem at a place where my router is overestimating the cycle time required for my journey, leading to bad results by default. 

The problem is here: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/4560492277 

When I alight from a train with my bike and want to cycle north-west after exiting the station at the specified node, in the real world I would push my bike through the kerb onto the carriageway and start riding. However, the mapping doesn't indicate that I can do so, so the router think that I would need to either push the bike along the pavement to the next junction, or use the signalised crossing to get to the carriageway. This has resulted in it overestimating my bike time by about 2 minutes. 

What is the correct mapping here to indicate that I can push my bike to the carriageway and mount it? 

Thanks, 
Michael
