Following is more on topic than may be expected - OSM Wiki is illustrated by images from Wikimedia Commons, and thanks for all people who uploaded things there.

Note that basically all images on the OSM Wiki are from Wikimedia Commons. Wikipedia and Wikidata have notability requirements, with WIkipedia having much stricter ones (but different across various language versions) Wikimedia Commons has no notability requirements, see https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Project_scope It is perfectly fine to upload things like that there. For example, anything that can be ever added as image on any Wikipedia article (even ones not yet written) is in scope, anything plausibly used for any educational purpose is in scope. See https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Project_scope#Must_be_realistically_useful_for_an_educational_purpose and it is quite broadly defined. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Village_pump/Archive/2016/11#%22realistically_useful_for_an_educational_purpose%22_-_how_broadly%2Fnarrowly_it_is_defined%3F I asked whatever uploading images of bicycle parkings (that are certainly not notable) is OK https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Stojaki_na_%C5%81obzowska_x_Biskupia.JPG https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Stojaki_rowerowe_z_hulajnogami_przy_szkole_-_bis.JPG https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Stojaki_rowerowe_z_hulajnogami_przy_szkole.JPG "The three images above look good to me. I would suggest short descriptions giving the location and maybe detailing closeness to important places like universities, courts, theatres, etc, if those places aren't in the images or the street location isn't well-known." "Reasonable quality photographs of identified places are very unlikely to be considered not in scope" "I could recommend to add {{Location}} <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Location>. In this case photos may be useful for external map services like OpenStreetMap." "Mateusz, scope is very broadly defined. Reasonable quality photos of public places are generally considered to be in scope. So, please go ahead and upload those photos. As mentioned above, photos considered out-of-scope are generally "personal" photos, bad quality photos, or photos of subjects that attract people not really interested in Commons as a repository of educational content (i.e. porn)." (BTW, even to be deleted as last mentioned category it still needs something completely useless for educational purposes - Wikimedia Commons hosts many pornographic images, after all there are also Wikipedia articles on this topic)
