How to map

To map steps nothing else than a simple way () is required. Add the highway=steps tag to it.

Discussion whether the direction of the way should point up- or downhill is so far been inconclusive. It's possible to tag this explicitly using incline=up or incline=down. (A previously suggested alternative method has been to use direction=up or direction=down, which are equivalent to the incline tags. This method is less common and a "direction" key is used for several other purposes.)

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

Extended usage

highway=steps conveying=yes/forward/backward/reversible incline=up/down/[-]<number>%

highway=steps step_count=NumberOfSteps

highway=steps width=WidthInMeters

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

highway=steps handrail=yes/(no)

• There is the possibility to tag staircases as a node, but the discussion is still on it. (For more please see the discussions tab above)
