I do have a related question, regarding the kerb values lowered|raised on a node. Assume you find yourself on a pedestrian crossing across a road that has an adjacent sidewalk and cycleway on the same side. The main carriageway is separated from the (foot-only) sidewalk by a kerb and that is separated from the cycleway by another kerb. The first kerb is typically raised (as the tag refers to a kerb between the road and the sideway, and the latter is always higher than the road), but the second kerb (let's assume that the cycle path is physically higher than the footway) is it kerb=raised (a step upward from the footwalk to the cycleway) or is it kerb=lowered (a step down from the cycleway to the sidewalk)? I have come across a number of these in the same context that Ale mentioned. I fear my conclusion is that the values "lowered" and "raised" on a node "kerb" need to be accompanied by direction=forward|backward (like stop and give-way, for example) with respect to the "crossing" way. I don't like my conclusion, but it seems inevitable. (I hope I'm wrong on this last statement)
