we could adopt something similar to how waterway=riverbank and waterway=river are used together. an area to mark the outline of the steps; a single way to mark the 'direction' of them > A similar(ish) problem was brought up recently regarding routing over > pedestrian areas.

Was a solution found? does it matter? i'm not sure an area has a 'way' through it. by definition, pedestrians can take any route across this, including walking round in circles for hours on end. i assume when we mark it as area=yes, any decent routing engine will treat the area as something pedestrians can walk through by the shortest route _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
