It may be over-mapping, but there is a point (especially when we have snow or ice-covered pavements). Of course pavements and places non-motorists use are unlikely to be gritted in this car-centric community. The common-or-garden dropped kerb can be hazardous especially for people with

Guys A difficulty with crossing is that it focuses purely on the drivers perspective. Where there is tactile paving, or coloured paving surely the crossing is marked for the pedestrian/wheelchair user and people with restricted sight. I think that the coloured/tactile paving

Hi Andy, It somewhat depends on what you are trying to map. The kerb=* tag on the wiki page you linked to is for when mapping a crossing. As shown on the second example on the page. you would create a way that runs perpendicular to the highway at the point where a footpath (or cyclepath) crosses

I've been reading the wiki page: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:kerb and I'm no wiser on how to map a dropped (or "lowered") kerb. I'm looking at a road which is mapped as a single way, without separate pavements. JOSM wants to add "barrier=kerb", but that would surely imply a
