Sidewalk mapped separately

Postit bi deptho on 12 July 2023 in English Last updated on 13 July 2023.

Carried out some updates while in a different area. The sidewalks/ pavements were mapped separately from the associated road. This made it a pain to improve road alignment and routing results were not ideal. Using the sidewalk tag on the road object and joining a physically separate path object to it seems easier/clearer?

Just noticed wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:source suggesting the changeset should describe the source of the change rather than every object. I’ll reduce the number/type of objects in my changesets to make it easier to relate the changes to the changeset description/sources.
