I have seen people on the forum say that there's no real difference between the two and that the pedestrian tag is more popular. I have also seen many examples all over the world where this tag is used for sidewalks

...I'll add a note as well on the building(s) that a main entrance as well as other entrances have been specified and that the building is divided the way it is as there is more than just the main elementary school

Oh okay good to know, this was the first building I added with the intention to map for the renderer, I will not continue that in the future and only map to add more data and detail as I have been doing

Hey there, I appreciate the feedback however the data on the buildings was removed as it already exists and is a duplicate of the landuse area around it. I noticed that a lot of schools in the area (and also around the world) only list the data under the landuse area and then just leave the buildings as school buildings (if this is wrong please feel free to let me know). As for the building layers themselves there are two reasons I have done it this way, 1 - it looks better in 3d renderers as they typically don't show building parts the same way they do buildings, and 2 - I'm a local and as far as I'm aware the building is divided into a few parts in real life as it isn't all used just for the elementary school (note the additional tag for the nursery school for example)
