RFC: Purpose of tags with information on the accessibility of stairs for the disabled

In the Czech Republic, it is common for the visually impaired to mark stairs in such a way that the first and last steps of the stairs are highlighted in color (suitable for the visually impaired).

tag: color_accentuation_of_the_staircase

The regulation does not require that the staircase be:

backlit or for the blind to have tactile paving in front of the stairs, although it would certainly help with greater safety.

tag: stairs:tactile_paving

A vertical sliding platform (or lifts) helps wheelchair users to overcome the stairs

tag:stairs: vertical_sliding_platform

Czech: Pro zrakově postižené je v ČR běžné podle norem označování schodů tak, že je barevně zvýrazněn první a poslední stupeň schodů (vhodné pro slabozraké).
barevné zvýraznění schodiště

Předpisem není dáno, aby bylo schodiště:
podsvíceno
nebo aby pro nevidomé byla před schody hmatová dlažba, ač by to určitě pomohlo větší bezpečnosti.

Vozíčkářům pomáhá překonávat schody svislá posuvná plošina (nebo výtahy)

Thank you. Děkuji.

Have a look at Tag:highway=steps - OpenStreetMap Wiki

There are already tags for some of the things you are suggesting: tactile_paving=*, platform_lift=*. Not sure about the colour accentuation thing.

It really is. See for example https://www.centrumpronevidome.cz/subdom/bariery/bariery/barifoto/schodok.jpg
This form is optimal.
Elsewhere, stairs are marked only in the corners, next to the railing or the wall, and perhaps only in white. I could prove it to you by photographing it somewhere in space. Where to send this photo. Thank you.
