Pathways (shortcuts) through buildings.
ایہہ 22؍August 2010ء English وچ «z-dude» لیکھ چھپیا گیا سی۔When I went to University, people would use the hallways of buildings as warm pathways to get to where they wanted to go.
Is mapping a pedestrian pathway through a building ok? I think so, because the path thru the building is part of the route of getting from point A to point B.
BCIT's campus is an example of what I mean. To get to the other side of the campus, you HAVE to go through SW1.
I think putting a shortcut through a building is ok.

I would say this okay. You might want to tag them with access= tags though.

You could tag it as indoor=yes, to make it clear it is within the building (and not above or below the building etc).
Also, you could tag the building with its opening hours, which will imply you can only use the path during those times.

I considered this a while back and then gave up - I had a number of overhead bridge-linked buildings where the bridge footways just stopped at the edge of the building rather than joining up together via the internal building walkways. Should all levels be put in including stairs/elevators to make the routing work? It gets messy...

btw. you might like to consider using the covered=yes tag.
