Hi Martin, hi Tobias, I can see the merit of both the "conveying:lanes" proposal, and e.g. this page http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Simple_Indoor_Tagging states that: "Mapping of objects in OSM works best when there is no upfront requirement to immediately add everything in great detail." How

Hi Tobias, Thanks! Would you also set conveying=yes? I assume logically one would not. However, this means that a renderer that doesn't understand "conveying:lanes" renders the way as steps, meaning that people with luggage or difficulty walking may not find it. Thus it may be better to set conv

[Tagging] steps parallel to escalator

2016-07-01 Thread Bjoern Hassler
Hello all, A few questions about steps/escalators: (1) Should an escalator always have "highway=steps"? I.e. highway=steps conveying=yes (see http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:conveying ). (2) How would I tag steps that run in parallel to an escalator? Can this be done with one way only? If
