This key is one of several competing methods for indicating the street's name when a sidepath is mapped as a separate way due to physical separation. Sidepaths include sidewalks, street-side cycleways, and street-side and road-side paths.

First proposed in Proposal:Key:is_sidepath:of, this tag has not yet been approved through the proposal process.

Alternatives

See Key:footway#Association with the street for other methods that have also been used to map street name on a sidewalk way.

Software support

As of December 2025, cycle.travel [1] and GraphHopper [2] are the only routers that are known to make direct use of this key.
