GH# 74: Snap to streets #148

Closed rsarathy closed 3 months ago

rsarathy commented 3 months ago

image We now avoid sidewalks (namely, any ways tagged highway=footway) when snapping start and end locations.

Would it have been harder to just avoid footway=sidewalk?

I suggested that in case there are some footways we might want to use. On the other hand, this is probably fine. Looking at the footway wiki page it's mostly sidewalk-like things and (for example) the O'Shaughnessy Blvd sidepath is tagged highway=path instead, so it's NBD.

I'm not sure right now how difficult this will be to implement, but I'll investigate it in a separate PR. I see that you opened #123, which captures this ask.

123 is different. That issue is about discouraging routing on sidewalks, not about preventing snapping to them for the start point of a route.
