+1. I don't see the value in adding a new highway value. How do you differentiate a ramp intended for the disabled and one intended for all travelers? Thus I don't see it is substantially different than highway=path. I'd favor highway=path + wheelchair=yes, and if you'd like throw on access_ramp=yes as well which can give you special rendering and stats if you'd like. -Josh _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
