Just this morning I came across new work from the Berlin OSM community: https://supaplexosm.github.io/strassenraumkarte-neukoelln/?m... The end-game isn't in sight. We (data consumers of OSM) are just getting started.

Supaplex did supplement their map with open data from the municipality though for the street outlines as far as I understand (I've asked), so it's not 100% OpenStreetMap data used there.

Totally awesome and inspiring nonetheless though.

Right, from https://supaplexosm.github.io/strassenraumkarte-neukoelln/po... (translation https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&u=https...), there was an extra curb data-set used. I've actually found a few of these (https://a-b-street.github.io/docs/tech/map/geometry/index.ht...), so the approach is maybe repeatable.

Regardless, the design choices and color scheme are something I would love to adapt.

You can definitely map curbs in OSM if you have high resolution imagery: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:area:highway

Do not expect however mainstream data consumers to support it ;)

That is gorgeous! I want it.
