When I start routing from a point that is closer to a sidewalk than a road, I am routed along the sidewalk until the next junction. Looking at the default style, it seems that the sidewalks are picked up with this tag:

highway=footway {add access = no; add foot = yes} [0x16 road_class=0 road_speed=0 resolution 23]

For whatever reason the "access=no" isn't working when starting the route. Is it possible to ignore ways tagged with "highway=footway" and "footway=sidewalk" but keep other footways? I've searched a bit but I can't seem to find a way to drop or ignore specific tags like this.

You could map sidewalks to a non-road line style, something like this: highway=footway & footway=sidewalk [0x29 resolution 23] highway=footway {add access = no; add foot = yes} [0x16 road_class=0 road_speed=0 resolution 23] The 0x29 is power=line. Marko
