Tools for this tag

This key is used for the two most common types of conveyor transport for persons: escalators and moving walkways.

An  escalator is a moving staircase – a conveyor transport device for carrying people between floors of a building.

A  moving walkway (British English) or moving sidewalk (American English) (colloquially sometimes travelator, horizontal escalator, walkalator, autowalk, movator, people mover) is a slow-moving conveyor mechanism that transports people, across a horizontal or inclined plane, over a short to medium distance.

Tagging

The conveying key is used together with highway=steps (for escalators) or highway=footway (for moving walkways).

Note: In Simple Indoor Tagging conveying=yes is also used without one of these tags (and can be combined with stairs=yes and indoor=room or indoor=area on a indoor area).

Key Value Element Comment
conveying yes Indicates that this feature is an escalator / moving walkway with unspecified direction
conveying forward Movement in way direction
conveying backward Movement opposite to way direction
conveying reversible Movement either with or opposing direction of way at one moment

Escalator tagging example
