@derloris it is interesting that both approaches exist on the same highway segment. I would say that that is false and one should move the data to the more detailed approach (as a line). Whereas on the other side, I don’t want to disturb the practices of the city too much.

In kind of returns to the question “are you mapping for the router or mapping as the actual state of the world.”

@barefootstache Yes, I would agree, both on one highway is one too much.

Well kind of, but I think It's not just a routing question, it's also about reclaiming public space if a rendering maybe implies a specific (car-centric) behavior. Furthermore it can look like other separate footways which are really not connected to the road (e.g. because of green space, a fence or a law which prohibits it). A solution could be if common rendering styles would render non-separate sidewalks in some way...
