To notate pedestrian overpasses, I've been copying an example I found somewhere in the map for Mexico City: Steps on each side of the bridge, and a Footpath of type Bridge for the overpass itself. In my town they have been installing ramps for wheelchairs/bikes in addition to steps in overpasses, and I'm wondering how to notate those. Should I use another footpath with the wheelchair tag on it? Finally, I guess I actually need to connect the Steps and the ramps to the actual sidewalk. But if the sidewalk is just a flag on the road itself - should I just connect the steps/ramps to the road line? Thanks in advance. |

These are two questions (at least):).
It is also useful to tag the incline, to specify which way the ramp goes. At least incline=up or incline=down (relative to the direction of the way). Or if you are able to measure the steepness, you can tag that as a percentage or angle. See http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:incline Thank you so much! Makes perfect sense.

Why highway=path if it is ONLY for wheelchairs? path allows foot, bicycles and horses according to the default access restrictions.

@scai - for me the hightway=path is the most neutral nonvehicle type of way, where individual access tags can be added. I do not see an alternative if it is only for wheelchairs - for example higway=footway, foot=no does not make much sense :) ... I have edited my answer to say foot=no to be more precise, this is true.

Hi Federico, here’s another example, http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=52.04074&lon=5.079667&zoom=18&layers=M an access ramp wich looks like a large corkscrew with separated stairways. A pedestrian is allowed to 'take' a wheelchair, buggy or even a bicycle along to cross the Railway line. The surface of that bridge is really loose gravel? I highly doubt it. If there is split rolled into the top of asphalt, then you should use surface=asphalt

Since there's no tag for acrylaatrasin with siliconcarbide or simply rasin with korund, I choose gravel. It should be possible to add a new tag for these kind a surfaces, isnt it ? But until that gravel comes awsome close enough.

Actually gravel is considered among the "unpaved" category by most users, because it describes loose gravel. If you don't have a completely accurate tag, but something is definitely paved, you are far better of to just tag it surface=paved. What you should NEVER do, is using a tag that means something else entirely.

@Hendrikklaas If your surface is not among your editor's presets you can either choose between the categories paved/unpaved or specify the surface as close as possible by using a custom value. There is no option between those two.
