I've run into a bunch of similar issues, where they just use asphalt to make an incline to the street level. I've been tagging them as kerb=lowered. It probably isn't exactly correct, but it does tell a wheelchair users that they can reach the street level. (Assuming the incline isn't too steep of course.)
>From the image I couldn't tell what the inclined leads to. Is it just a wide shoulder or to another sidewalk? That may make a difference in how I'd map it.
