highway=steps should be treated as a footway, not a road #15

It doesn't make a lot of sense to add kerbs and a crossing for an intersection with highway=steps.

Can I have a sample area? I'd like to make certain I understand the problem.

I'm envisioning a crossing where the sidewalk comes down a hill via steps, where the steps terminate at the roadway and not at another sidewalk.

I'll have to check and see what is supposed to happen in those cases. Example: if there is a raised edge at the edge of the roadway, does the first step of the stairway count as a kerb?

The steps I was mapping near were already mapped and were connected to the road way on OSM, but physically stop at the sidewalk. As I mapped the sidewalk, I placed nodes close enough to the steps way that the plugin mapped it as a crossing. I then had to remove the crossing kerbs and split in addition to cutting the steps back. The specific set of steps was https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/1225561899, if that's helpful.
