An area representation of a highway=steps
which is separately mapped with a linear way.
Background
Some steps take up a significant areas - or mappers are interested in super-accurate mapping - so this tag was developed to precisely map this, in addition to highway=steps
way tagged through their middle.
How to map
Correct tagging
- If it's a simple steps area, just draw outline around it, and add tag
area:highway=steps
. - If it's a more complicated one, draw an outline around it, draw all inner parts, then select all elements and make a multipolygon relation from it. Add tag
area:highway=steps
to multipolygon. - Remember about joining area's edges to surrounding buildings, walls, etc.
Linear routable way
- Always create also a linear
highway=steps
way along the centerline of thearea:highway=steps
as described inarea:highway=*
