[Talk-GB] 'informal' ramps

[Gareth L]

Yes, this!
Ramp=separate
The separate way could be tagged with incline/surface/ details  and highway=footway/path + informal=yes

I wonder if Gareth has in mind drawing a parallel way for the informal ramp. I've occasionally used this in Sweden. Not the most elegant solution but does allow things like surface, mtb:scale (which I use for physical bicycle accessibility as distinct from legal), wheelchair (lack of) accessibility and anything else that you can come up with for assisting routing. Topologically "correct" and can track any deviations of the ramp from the steps. Your suggestions are still valid and I'll use them.  /Mike

Hi Gareth. Sorry I should have made it clearer. This is when the osm way is a highway=steps but there's some usable ground to the side.

Would one of the incline tags serve well here? I’ve certainly seen ramps up to bridges which could be considered too steep for many wheelchairs but ok for a bike or pram.

That doesn't seem to fit any of the options (or anything in the wiki). Is there a case for a ramp=informal tag or similar and should I add ramp:bicycle=yes, or save that for the specific type?
