How to map

ElementWay.png

To map steps nothing else than a simple way (way) is required. Add the highway=steps tag to it. On the talk page we should decide whether the direction of the way should point uphill or downhill. However discussion as to which of the two is best, is so far inconclusive. An alternative unofficial way has been to use direction=up or direction=down until a consensus and/or conclusion has been made.


Add a name=* if the steps have a special name.

Extended usage

highway=steps escalator=yes/parallel/(no) escalator_dir=up/down/dynamic/skywalk

highway=steps step_count=NumberOfSteps

highway=steps width=WidthInMeters

tactile_paving=yes/(no)/irritating if there is a paving on both ends of the steps that can be found with a blindman's stick.

highway=steps handrail=yes/(no)
