The amount of time someone spent at an incline is important for some pedestrians, so I'd use an option that splits the way and sets the incline tag.
sidewalk=slide might be related to a tag I've wanted for a while. I think I would personally call that a ramp, so maybe a use of a tag like ramp=yes would be worth discussing. There's two big benefits I can name right away: - It becomes easier to incrementally map l to armchair map these features. User A tags ramp=yes on a footways (armchair mappable), User B can then use a QA tool and add incline=up/down (armchair mappable), user C can add incline=a number (must map on-site). - It becomes possible to distinguish infrastructure built as a ramp (like this slide or a wheelchair ramp) from any other segment of footway that just happens to be steep. Does ramp=yes seem like an appropriate (hypothetical) tag for this situation?
