There was no change in the OSM database, so the project is not affected. kerb=regular anyway is already in use but undocumented. Current wheelchair/mobily projects should anyway consider this existing tagging. As I described it needs clarity in the differentiation between raised and regular kerbs

As an result of this diskussion (no strong opposition, some general remarks, some endorsement) I added "kerb=regular" to the tagging example list in the wiki and adjusted hight descriptions (with values discussed here). If there is further need for discussion and changes, it could be carried out

Agreed that is beyond being a curb, it is a wall of sorts. For it to be a curb in my opinion, it should be passable by a fit (non-disabled) person easily, Once it becomes too tall to pass it is a wall On Thu, 30 Jul 2020, 01:17 Jarek Piórkowski, wrote: > On Wed, 29 Jul 2020 at 19:46, Martin

Problem: what is "regular" ? (and hence: what is "raised" and "lowered" ?) See for example: https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-standard-curb-height-in-the-United-States-and-how-is-that-height-decided-on On Wed, 29 Jul 2020 at 20:58, Supaplex wrote: > Hey all, > > I started mapping detailed
