Walk or cycleway construction

Tagging: highway=footway_construction / cycleway_construction
Applies to: way
Definition: Footways or cycleways under construction.

Proposal

This proposal adds footway and cycleway construction tags; specifically highway=footway_construction and highway=cycleway_construction. It also changes highway=construction to highway=road_construction. The new tags are used on ways, specifically roads.

Rationale

This proposal is needed because only roads have a specific construction tag. highway is the key I chose because the existing road construction tag's key is the same. The reason why I chose footway_construction, cycleway_construction, and road_construction for values is that the road construction tag's current value is construction.

The potential use of this data is to map specific footways or cycleways that are under construction. The significance is that footways or cycleways in construction are now mapped.

Tagging

Tag value Description
All tags Tagged in ways; used with construction=*
road_construction Stays as is with the current highway=construction tag
footway_construction Footways currently in construction
cycleway_construction Cycleways currently in construction

Examples

Should be tagged in footways and cycleways.

Features/Pages affected

The highway=construction page due to the change to highway=road_construction.
