The new “Footways” category (under Transportation -> Walking) shows sidewalks, footways, steps, platforms and pedestrian zones. Sidewalks mapped on the street way (sidewalk:left, sidewalk:right resp. sidewalk:both) will be shown with an offset - hatching indicates the relation.

Screenshot of OpenStreetBrowser showing the "Footways" category. In the left side the map key for the category is visible, below some of the features in the map view. In the map view a popup on a street with sidewalks is open.

If you have an questions, comments or ideas, please create an issue on Github! Quite some new strings were added to the translation system. Your participation is highly appreciated!

Looks great. Are you planning something similar for cycleways? I see you already mark shared footway/cycleway.

Maybe. I already tried it once, but cycleways are even more complex than footways with cycleway=opposite_lane, cycleway:left / :right, bicycle:oneway, …

I’m planning to add a ‘cycleway directions’ category, though, which shows the directions similar to the OpenCycleMap rendering.
