  • Ticket #21235 – Description

    initial v1  
    1 To resolve #10851, #10976, #15439, and #19389 the validator checks if ways have footway=* set with one of the values typically used for sidewalk=*. This seems to be a fairly common mistake, so it's good to have a warning here.
     1To resolve #10851, #10976, #15439, and #19389 the validator checks if ways have `footway=*` set with one of the values typically used for `sidewalk=*`. This seems to be a fairly common mistake, so it's good to have a warning here.

    99The validator checks for `left`, `right`, `both`, `none`, and `no`. `separate` is missing from this list.

    1313The validator treats `none` in a different manner as the rest; giving users the suggestion to use `sidewalk=no` instead. Currently the documentation on the wiki and TagInfo (https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/sidewalk#values) show that these are now treated as synonyms, with no preference for one or the other. It doesn't seem necessary for JOSM to have a preference one way or another, especially if mappers are simply using what other local mappers do.

    15 === Stop whitelisting other `footway` values ===
     15=== Whitelists all other possible `footway` values ===
    1616
    1717While the above values are clear examples of misstagging, `footway` is not an invalid key, and is used to provide a refining of `highway=footway`. The validator acknowledges this for `access_aisle`, `crossing`, and `sidewalk`, but excludes everything else. This seems too strict compared to the other rules — we don't whitelist values for `highway=*` for example. Mappers can (and do) create new values, and some are gaining broader acceptance. This check seems superfluous with the checks for values that probably mean `sidewalk=*` in place.
