[Tagging] Mapping gentle slopes?

2011-01-04 Thread Nathan Edgars II
I'm interested in mapping which direction of a street slopes down (mainly for cycling purposes). The contour lines used by OpenCycleMap don't have nearly enough resolution for this, yet many streets have a noticeable slope (which can also be seen in how the roadside drains are designed). Is there

Of course, this will require breaking the way into segments each time the slope changes between uphill and downhill. On some terrain this won't be an issue, but on rolling terrain you may have to have a great many nodes. Also, the slope will need to be determined by someone on the ground, as
