Render oneway arrows for footways and stairs

[sb12]

There are situations where footways and stairs can be oneway, e.g. escalators which don't change their directions. Another example for oneway footways (and stairs) are queue areas for tourist attractions or in theme parks and any place where you want to separate entering and exiting people (e.g. at airports or large shops)

Not sure what to do with this. Oneway arrows on roads typically do not apply to pedestrians, so using the same symbol might be confusing.

What is the meaning of the oneway tag? Does it implicitly not apply to pedestrians? I don't often see oneway=yes, oneway:foot=no.

oneway=yes on highway=footway should be expected to apply to pedestrians. On highway=residential/unclassified/tertiary/..., probably not, but I'd expect that to only matter if routing.

On the other hand, I suspect arrows wouldn't work well on top of the current footway styling.

I encountered situations with "bicycle=yes, oneway=yes, oneway:foot=no" tagging as valid representation of reality.

+0.8, while on highway=pedestrian it will probably not (these occur
frequently around here in old town centers with narrow streets that have
been made pedestrian areas).

On the other hand I am not aware of any traffic signs or law that declare a
oneway for pedestrians.

What about turnstiles or on entrances (like http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/38042708 and http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/253098552 )? Also some paths in mountains - for example Orla Perć: http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/95132011 (probably it would be a good idea to include in this ticket also rendering oneway arrows on highway=path)
