I’ve found that for a time I’ve been picking the wrong term for pedestian pavements beside the main carrage way. In normal language i’d call these pavements, but for good and well explaind reasoning OSM decided to call them sidewalkd to avoid international confusion (pavement as a term has different meanings around the world). Knowing that I’d need to pick a differenet term I’ve been mistakeingly using footway by mistake (footways on some editors convert to footpaths) and I’m also begining question if some of my “Front Garden paths” should be footpaths or even private byways??? the problem is that what is simple to build with paving or a narrow strip of tarmac can be seen in different ways in osm but is physicaly similar and often used also used in very similar way too.
I’m intending to review the tagging I’ve done on sidewalks in a progressive manner.
I’m also looking at advanced bridge tagging to sort out some issues with some more recent entries. Bridges and rivers can become quite complecated when there is a lot going on like the Magdelen Viaduct/bridge (which has nine arches, 5 “tunnels” placeing places two river courses two-one embankment apontoondock and two sides, {not mentinon the multilane stuctures of the highway running over the top}!!!). I’ll get there in the end but it might take some time. I’ve also been working on find details for the tasked missed off the last task listing and that is utility features like pumpsite and substations……
