Thank you, @Clifford. This could be very helpful for navigation of transit hubs and park and rides.
Unfortunately, knowing where these pathways are *not* is even more helpful because many times, when these paths are missing, people have to go into the parking aisle (or traffic) to reach the nearest ramped access-point to connect to protected sidewalks. While OSM doesn’t support missing pathways, at least clearly demarcating where they are is helpful. I also agree with @Sebastian who suggested the width can be informative (but unfortunately not always within reach for mappers). Many times the accessible paths are actually not wide enough for all wheelchair ramps and lifts. Thanks, Anat Sent from my mobile. Please excuse brevity and typos. > On Thu, Oct 24, 2019 at 5:47 PM Sebastian Dicke via Tagging > <tagging@openstreetmap.org> wrote: > Hi, > > > an additional tag would not be bad.
