I read the wiki entry on steps
(http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dsteps
<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway=steps>) and the discussion
page,
and besides the discussion on which direction means uphill (that really needs
to be decided), I had another big question -
can I use steps to define an area, just like highway=pedestrian?
There are sets of steps that are a very large and wide, sometimes as wide as a
building, but there is no way to tag their expanse properly.
I am currently (micro?)mapping a large rose garden, and every single area - the
pedestrian walkways, the grass, the hedges, pools - everything that isn’t a
wall can be expressed as an area - except for the wide stairs connecting the
large pedestrian areas.
Is it acceptable to tag stairs on an area, or is it only acceptable on a way?
is there a possibility of putting a way under the area to define the direction
of the steps, or would that mean making some kind of relation to make it happen
(which I know little about)?
and we will ever have an implied direction on stairs? (up sounds fine to me).
