maybe i asked it wrong, there is no way per say, it is a land fill and there is something on the top, but to the tracers looking at bing it looks flat but it is a big mountain, on the one hand or a big hole in the case
of an reintion dry pond
in the case of a road, on the top of a mound or below street leave.
that is to show that these things are not on the ground leave.


Umm 'ground level' is where you find it, beside the sea shore it may have an elevation of 0, on top of a mountain it maybe many hundreds of meters above sea level.


If you have a drop on either side then it is s ridge line - use the tag 'natural=ridge'. Note the key 'natural' is used for both natural and man made objects.. it is a poorly named key.


If you have a road with a drop on either side then tag ways on either side with embankment, with the appropriate directions.

I think that there is a miss-conception here. If you want to talk about the wall the retains the earth, this is the dyke. The embankment is more then a wall and is at least as large as the road and made of resistant material.  The wiki pages https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:embankment and https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:man_made%3Dembankment do not accept usage of polygones with these tags. see description of embankments in https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/engineering/highway-embankment

        What does this mean ?
        “should be tagged on a way drawn with the*_/lower side on
        right side/_*of way direction”

    The downhill side of the embankment is to the right of the way.
