Hi,
I recently tried to follow a pedestrian route and got stuck at the point when I was told to enter the highway (autobahn) which is tagged as trunk in the OSM data. Trunks are motorway like roads, so in most cases it should not be possible/allowed to enter these roads as pedestrian or with the bicycle. For that reason I would propose to remove trunks from the according routings unless pedestrians or bicycles are explicitly tagged (foot != no, bicycle != no).
I compared other routing machines on the OSM sites: GraphHopper seems to exclude trunks (don´t know if they take "foot" and "bicycle" into account) whereas Mapzen does the same as Mapfactor – the routing uses trunks as well which should be wrong in most cases.
Is threre anything which would contradict the proposed change?
Best regards,
Kristian
