Values
| Key | Value | Element | Comment | Photo |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| footway | sidewalk | 
|
A sidewalk alongside a road, separately mapped with highway=footway | 
|
| footway | crossing |
|
A pedestrian crossing, usually connecting two sidewalks | 
|
| footway | both / right / left / none |
|
(Note: This is not a refinement of highway=footway, but is rather meant to be added to the road. Please see the proposals Footway and Sidewalk, only differing in key name.) Sidewalk on both/right/left/no side(s) of a road, NOT separately mapped |
|
footway=crossing and bicycles
Additionally, if the crossing is also for bicycles, you should add cycleway=crossing. If cyclists have to dismount to use the crossing use footway=crossing and bicycle=dismount.
Connecting ways
Note that by default, footway=sidewalk or footway=crossing will neither be rendered, nor taken for autorouting for any other mean of transport but pedestrian. All ways that connect to the sidewalk(s), should therefore also connect to the main street (also highway=footway and highway=path). If you don't connect them to the main street, then add bicycle=dismount to indicate that autorouters for cyclists have to consider this way (and tell the cyclist to push his bike). Note that for a non sidewalk highway=footway & bicycle=no way, autorouters will assume that pushing your bicycle is possible - if then there is no connection to the next street, you break that.
