The =* key can be used to indicate the presence or absence of a sidewalk (pavement/footway/foopath) alongside the left side of the street where the footway runs parallel to the carriageway.
It is usually paired with sidewalk:right=*, and is used where sidewalk=* does not suffice. See sidewalk=* for more information and other useful tagging combinations.

Concerns for data consumers
=* overrides the value set by sidewalk=* for the left side of the road, although mixing these is discouraged. =none should be treated as synonymous with =no.
