I’ve had similar questions when mapping out the sidewalk networks of the endless suburban sprawl covering the US. Technically, pedestrians are allowed to cross at any intersection, but T-intersections are usually designed to be accessible in the normal direction, but not in the parallel branch. I’ll sometimes put the crossing at a slight angle so it lands on a driveway instead of a curb with grass, but that feels “hacky” at best.

Thanks! It’s been fun out here, but with winter setting in, there’s plenty of time to work on the map!
