Call for Cartographers: Dark Matter Pedestrian Infrastructure

General talk
1

Recently I noticed that in select area google maps show pedestrian crossings on highways. Some of the openstreetmap derived maps do that (e.g OSM France), but OSM Carto does not. Are they just waiting for a pull request? And how about the sidewalks mapped as attributes, why are they not shown? AC-colours among others does it.

Any cartographers reading along willing to get going on such a first issue?

You’re not looking for a cartographer, you’re looking for a politician :slight_smile:

You don’t want to “solve the technical problem of showing crossings”, you need to persuade some people that they need to do that.

And for sidewalks (as you know, as you commented on it!):
