Hi. I think, the last argument Martin has in his reply is the most important one: Tagging the width of steps is simple - and useful independant of other proposals for mapping steps, if it's equal in general from top to bottom. But one usual case is, that steps are around a building etc., so th

Hi. I stumbled upon that issue several times, yet. I'm not sure, but perhaps the area:highway-proposal [1] is useful here. Before we have to discuss the general pros and cons of that proposal: I don't think it's necessary to tag all streets with an area (but it would be possible, sure), and I do
