Improper use of connecting a footway=access_aisle to a highway=service or service=parking_aisle

This is a wrong usage of footway link and should be excluded from the wiki to prevent others from making the same mistake even if it has limited "in use". The access aisle connects directly to the centerline of the parking aisle. As per the starting line of the article "connecting other highways to enable routing between them." The aisle already routes to the parking aisle and no link is required. The original proposal does not describe its usage as such either. If you want to get granular you can specify width=* on the highway. For the reason why a service road connecting directly into a primary road doesn't use link or split on the road width and turn into primary link. Mxdanger (talk) 00:55, 5 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

This has already been discussed extensively on the Forum (link) in the context of crossings. Lumikeiju (talk) 04:52, 5 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
I've added in a "Questioned" ambox to that section in 2975570. Lumikeiju (talk) 18:51, 6 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
