[mkgmap-dev] highway=footway not accessible for pedestrian?

Thu May 7 08:48:57 BST 2015

Hi all,

I've just noticed that the default style
treats a way with highway=footway and bicycle=yes
as a bicycle-only way, e.g.
http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/8564649

I think that is not intended.
Reason is this rule:
# Convert generic path to most specific
highway=footway & snowplowing!=no
& (bicycle=yes|bicycle=designated|bicycle=permissive|bicycle=official)
{set highway=cycleway; set bicycle=yes}

which changes a highway=footway to a highway=cycleway.

In the german wiki the tag highway=footway means something like
"pedestrian only".

I'd like to change that rule to 
highway=footway & snowplowing!=no
& (bicycle=designated|bicycle=permissive|bicycle=official)
{set highway=cycleway; set bicycle=yes; set foot=yes}

OK?
Gerd
