(or if you’re English, “Pavements!”)

I finally got this working for tertiary and secondary roads:

That location corresponds to here in OSM.

There were three bits to it:

1) Determining which roads should have a sidewalk rendered. This is done in lua, and creates e.g. a road type “tertiary_sidewalk” to go with “tertiary” and “tertiary_link”:

https://github.com/SomeoneElseOSM/SomeoneElse-style/blob/sidewalk/style.lua#L230

2) Handle “tertiary_link” the same as “tertiary” in the style’s MML, e.g.:

https://github.com/SomeoneElseOSM/openstreetmap-carto-AJT/blob/sidewalk/project.mml#L403

3) Handle “tertiary_link” the same as “tertiary” in the style’s roads.mss, e.g.:

https://github.com/SomeoneElseOSM/openstreetmap-carto-AJT/blob/sidewalk/roads.mss#L2363

… except where we want to do something different:

https://github.com/SomeoneElseOSM/openstreetmap-carto-AJT/blob/sidewalk/roads.mss#L1114

“sidewalk_width-z13” etc. are declared at the top:

As you may be aware, mapping of areas of trees in OSM is complicated. It’s not possible to tell just by looking at the data which of the four(!) approaches described on that page someone is using “natural=wood” and/or “landuse=forest” to mean. It therefore didn’t make a lot of sense to me to display them differently on a map created from OSM data.

A while back I wrote https://github.com/SomeoneElseOSM/Notes01 to enable OSM notes to be converted to a useful Garmin format so that you can actually check them when out and about.

A week ago I added support for extracting “fixme” tags from Overpass. There are about 20 notes within 9km of my house, so I was interested to see how many fixmes there were. It turned out that there were 430! As someone said on IRC, “that’ll keep you busy over Christmas”.
