Symbol for wide Stairs

Is it possible to create an (Area-)Symbol for wide Stairs which are broad but with few steps, only. This could be used in general, too.

Barrier=kerb shows up on some map types, but none of the default ones. I’ve used it here for some 80m wide steps which are only a few steps high. https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/678583069

The wiki entry for “highway=steps” says to add width=* tag to indicate how broad a set of steps are. Therefore, it looks like the expected way a short and broad set of steps would be entered is: A way would be drawn in the center of the stairs The way would go from the top of the steps to the bottom of the steps (or the opposite). The way would be tagged with “highway=steps”, “steps=”, and “width=” Please, avoid mistagging data such as tagging steps as kerbs. Bad data is worse than no data.
