Seeking your input...
One thing that struck me when I had to start planning for getting from
A to B with someone on a mobility scooter or in a wheelchair was that
the "obvious" things (kerbs etc.) weren't the biggest issue - it was
things like the exact location of the shopmobility office (which level
of the car park and exactly where on that level?) and gates that
weren't mobility-scooter accessible not because they weren't wide
enough but because the angle you'd have to turn through was impossible
(I've still no idea how to map that).
Umm I'd try 'wheelchair=no' on the way. Presumably a wheel chair would
have similar difficulty there.
I'd actually start by asking potential users in Stockport "so what do
you want to see on a map?". I bet a whole pile of requests will come
in that aren't covered by any OSM map.
With regard to "what shows this"
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:wheelchair#Rendering (which
you've probably already looked at) has a couple of suggestions. I'm
sure that there are others though, even features of non-"accessibility
sprecific" renderings such as the "shopmobility parsing" that I added
to
https://map.atownsend.org.uk/maps/map/map.html#zoom=20&lat=53.4955228&lon=-2.514984
when I found it personally useful.
I am thinking about making a new wiki page for mappers on tags available
for disability/accessibility things. Presently there is no common page
for them, something similar to;
the format of https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:highway
and tagging on
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/FR:Handicaps/R%C3%A9f%C3%A9rentiel
Yet to get off my bum and do some more research on it, the above will
give me some more to do, thanks.
