In this case it looks more like an error of the tidy-function, or at least it 
having wrong parameters. Most of the nodes in the back of the linkway are 
indeed collinear and can probably be removed without loss of precision.

Personally, I almost never use this function. There were a few cases where 
someone seems to have converted a GPX track, or where it was clear that the 
excessive amount of nodes was wrong, because I knew the concerning area.
