Hello,

I am afraid we have a problem here.

When you add "access=yes" on an highway=* object, it makes it open to *every* vehicle.

Combining "highway=footway" + "access=yes" tells routing engines that everyone (cars, horses…) is welcome here.  Please do not add "access=yes".

Do not add "foot=yes" either, it is not necessary when the way is already tagged as a footway.  (foot=yes will be only used to counteract a generic ban, such as "access=no", or to allow pedestrians on a road where they would not be allowed by default, e.g "highway=cycleway")

Just keep highway=footway without anything else and that will be fine. ;-)

(Don’t let the crappy drop-down boxes in the iD editor fool you into selecting values there, just ignore that and go straight to the tags.)
