Feature/Enhancement Proposal

Context: https://ask.openrouteservice.org/t/ors-directions-is-it-possible-to-get-street-names-along-with-instructions/7425/4

In case where sidewalk=separate is mapped on a major road (e.g. https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/1136460176), the separately mapped sidewalks (e.g. https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/1219082393) usually don't have a name.

As a consequence, foot routes using this sidewalk don't show good instructions:

curl --location 'https://api.openrouteservice.org/v2/directions/foot-walking?api_key=<YOUR-API-KEY-HERE>&start=-73.977075%2C40.758075&end=-73.984403%2C40.773501'

yields
