<p>Hi everybody,</p>
<p>I'm mapping various sidewalks and I'd like to tag the portion of
the sidewalk that slides down from a higher level to the ground,
and then maybe goes up again. This happens usually in
correspondance with driveway entrances (how do you tag them?). You
can see an example here
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/images/thumb/b/b9/Sidewalk_and_zebra-crossing.jpg/240px-Sidewalk_and_zebra-crossing.jpg">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/images/thumb/b/b9/Sidewalk_and_zebra-crossing.jpg/240px-Sidewalk_and_zebra-crossing.jpg</a></p>
<p>For wheelchair accessibility it would be important to
characterize it with an incline tag: when the incline value its
e.g. >5% the accessibility can be considered limited, and so
on.</p>
<p>One of course could split the sidewalk for a 1 m section and
assing a specific incline value to it; this might lead to a very
fragmented way and sometimes it would be easier to simply add a
node and assign an incline value to it. Even the simple
information that there's a portion of the sidewalk not horizontal
(without a specific value) can be useful.</p>
<p>I've thought about using a node on a footway=sidewalk with <i>sidewalk=slide</i>
+ <i>incline=<value> </i>or something similar.</p>
<p>I thought also about using the tag kerb, but in this case it
isn't a real intersection with the road, so it doesn't seem to be
appropriate to me.</p>
<p>Do you have any experience on that or suggestions?</p>
<p>Thank you in advance,</p>
<p>Ale<br>
