How is it recommended to mark pedestrian crossings where wheelchair access is permitted in some directions, but difficult or impossible? Since these are not roadway intersections, there is no pedestrian crossing with appropriately tagged points at both ends.
It seems to me that the agencies that design such intersections don’t always consider that the curb steps, while not particularly difficult for a mother with a stroller, present an insurmountable obstacle for most wheelchairs.
It is possible to map an individual curb (barrier=kerb) or individual step (barrier=step) whether or not there’s a pedestrian crossing. But just to be sure we’re talking about the same thing, could you share an example of the crossing you’re describing?

The pictures you took would indicate in some countries a crossing (even by law) at that position and could be marked as such with Tag:highway=crossing - OpenStreetMap Wiki and at the point of the kerb Tag:barrier=kerb - OpenStreetMap Wiki (thats where sidewalk and crossing meet)
@Negreheb, I’m afraid I didn’t fully understand you.
In all cases, the photographs show only pedestrian paths. However, some of them are permitted for vehicle traffic. For these T-junctions, you propose to apply the highway=crossing tag to the crossing point, and a short distance from that point, on the wheelchair-blocked path, put a barrier=kerb tag (and perhaps height=* if I know the exact height; for example, height=0.12 m). Is that correct?
If, as in some of the photographs I provided, a single long curb crosses multiple approaches to the doors of a house, and its height is the same throughout, would it be correct to place the curb line on the map across the sidewalks instead of using points on each sidewalk?
Could you illustrate one of these cases as an example?

Maybe this helps already? South side of the crossing is unmarked if i remember correctly.
