[Talk-it] Fwd: [OSM-talk] Ways in old mediterranean and similar towns.

[Andrea Musuruane]

Se ben ricordo non c'era consenso. Io dicevo che secondo me la
differenza la faceva l'ampiezza della strada. Quindi, per esempio, la
prima foto di Venezia per me  è una pedestrian; quella di san
giminiano invece potrebbe essere una footway.

Ciao,

Andrea.
