Nice, but still not 'micro-mapping ;)

Which sides of those roads have pedestrian footpaths. Is there a footpath on the 
side of the road over the railway. Indeed are those actually vehicle access at 
all, I presume so from the obvious pullins at the houses? But where are the 
actual gaps in the sidewalk ...

The information I would like to include covers - for example - the fact that the 
footpath is isolated by verges, on one side of the road, then the pedestrian is 
expected to cross to the other side where the footpath is just a riased side 
walk for asection, going onto a pathway which goes some distance from the road 
before returning to the side and crossing over again .... Yes you can walk on 
the grass verges, but what is the route passable by a pushchair or wheelchair?
