Duckboards definition
Duckboards are platform of wooden slats built over muddy ground to form a dry passageway. Hikers and other pedestrians currently use duckboards to safely pass moist areas of ground, such as a swamp or shores of a lake. They are often built from one or two parallel, wide split logs. Specially wide duckboards are often used to provide wheelchair access.
Duckboards in Maximilianpark, Hamm, Germany
Proposal
Ability to add a "duckboards=yes" tag to footways (highway=footway). Additional tag that can be used is width, that is especially useful information for wheelchair access.
Currently closest way of tagging is using "surface=wood" and using width to indicate if a wheelchair can fit.
Rendering
Rendering something similiar as a bridge (bridge=yes).
