Problem with foot=no on lawfully forbidden streets(Train-Crossing). not verifiable on the Ground
Posted by LuxSchuss on 23 May 2026 in English. Last updated on 26 May 2026.Hello, just a collection before putting it into a purposal
so there are many issues about walk=no at Gleisanlagen. Each enities pushing it to not my problem.
- Routers need it to avoid Tracking through have traffic with separate sidewalks
- Openstreetmap verifable on the spot
- Historie of foot=no is changing in wikipedia.
- StreetComplete is asking if its forbidden, not if its forbidden by sign.
- Just use access.
- Maybe foot:implicit=no / hazard:railway=yes source:foot:implicit=DE:StVO:25(5)
- osm.wiki/Key:access suggest “saftey reasons” sidewalk=no or hazard=*
- Vorschlag railway=light_rail impliziert ?foot=no?
- There is a exception for maxspeed. Maybe create another train-crossings.
- Grashopper working as expected. OSRM and navigating through busy crossroads. Valhalla has issue.
Reasons:
- “Just use a better Router”,
- Street-Speed-Limit is also not verifable on the Ground.
- osm.wiki/DE:Key:foot
- 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
- Openstreetmap verifable on the spot
- ?
- DE:Key:hazard No, Entsprechend der OSM-Konventionen sollten nur Gefahren bzw. Gefahrenstellen kartiert werden, die vor Ort überprüft werden können.
