The key =* is used to define if stairs have a specific colour for its steps to help visually-impaired people see them easily.

How to map

This tag is mainly used in combination with highway=steps, which designates stairs.

=* can have the following values:

  • yes: the stairs have dedicated colouring to help visually impaired people
  • no: the stairs don't have a specific colour (not painted, or painted with a neutral colour)
  • bad: the stairs have dedicated colouring, but the paint is faded due to usage or weather

Examples

Picture/description Tags Comments
It is not necessary all steps to have the specific painting, only the first one and the last one at least must be painted.
No distinction between steps, in a neutral colour
Step material helps to see where they are, but are dirty and not so visible.
