[OSM-talk] How to tag small city alley ?

[Richard Mann]

I'd have said a pedestrian street was one which (often through conversion)
is now primarily for access on foot, and pretty much unsegregated (ie no
kerbs, and not much paving differentiation). Access varies (can be bicycles,
motorcycles or even some cars - eg Lucca in Italy). It doesn't only apply to
the ghastly shopping precincts.

You could also use a Living Street, but these usually feature quite a bit of
residential car parking, and are fairly open access to car traffic, albeit
at walking pace.
