A taxiway is a path for aircraft at an airport connecting runways with aprons, hangars, terminals and other facilities.
How to map
Draw a way 
along the yellow center line of the taxiway and add the aeroway=taxiway to it.
Area Mapping
 | Mapping aeroway=taxiway and aeroway=runway as areas is disputed. You can join the discussion here and here. |
Sometimes in addition to mapping as a linear way, the outline of the taxiway has been mapped as an 
area with aeroway=taxiway + area=yes, however area:aeroway=taxiway has been suggested for this purpose instead.
Useful combination
Additional information can be specified using these keys:
- ref=* - for the name of the taxiway
- width=* - for the width of the taxiway (in meter), note this should specify the physical width of the taxiway on the ground, not the clearance.
- surface=asphalt/concrete/grass/... - physical makeup of the surface of the taxiway.
- aeroway=holding_position - as
at holding positions on the taxiway. - crossing:aircraft=* - A point where the flow of traffic is impacted by crossing aircraft.
