Use footway=sidewalk along with highway=footway to tag 
sidewalks (also known as pavement/footway in the UK or a footpath in Australia) as distinct ways from the carriageway.
For crosswalks use footway=crossing.
footway=sidewalk is also sometimes used with other highway=* values
- sidewalks under construction highway=construction+construction=footway
- combined footway and cycleway - highway=path+bicycle=designated+foot=designated+segregated=no.
This article describes the "separate way" approach to mapping sidewalks. Alternatively, especially if the sidewalk is just attached with a kerb, sidewalks may be mapped as properties on the motorized roads, see Sidewalks for details on this distinction.
How to map
See footway=* for usage instructions.
