| 4898958 Category: unknown | 1 | 2025-08-08 12:43 | opened | Andrew John Wright ♦11 | Why is this stretch of the A453 marked as foot=yes when adjacent sections are not so marked? There is no footway, and I suspect walking would be strongly discouraged. Unless there's an historical "right of way" along this section alone? Many thanks |
| 2 | 2025-08-21 11:55 | commented | kevjs1982 ♦809 | Was added as part of changeset 118946636 . https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/118946636#map=17/52.923257/-1.166074&layers=N As this isn't a motorway (and there's no signage explicitly prohibiting it) then foot=yet is technically correct "Roads and other objects where the public has a legally-enshrined right for access on foot." if _very_ ill advised here! Approach signage encourages (but does not require) pedestrians to use the subways on the northern side. | |
| 3 | 2025-08-22 10:37 | commented | Andrew John Wright ♦11 | Thank you. Is it not incongruous for this section to be marked foot=yes when other adjacent sections are not so marked? Especially when this section is also marked sidewalk=no. I wonder why this section alone was selected to have such tags added. Many thanks | |
| 4 | 2025-08-22 11:12 | commented | kevjs1982 ♦809 | I agree. It appears to have been added as a part of a Street Complete quest that has since been disabled in the UK (as it was resulting in foot=no being incorrectly added). https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/poll-should-streetcomplete-disable-the-are-pedestrians-forbidden-to-walk-on-this-road-without-sidewalk-here-quest-in-the-uk/118387/15 I'd be inclined to delete the foot=yes (but not add a foot=no) - this would respect the legal view of this tag & the UK's odd rules, whilst allowing routing engines to make a sensible decision based on the trunk road status (i.e. no walking routes are going to take you down it unless you start right on it - e.g. after a breakdown); and also leave it aligned with adjacent sections of road. | |
