I have been looking into improving kerb and traffic_signals data for some bboxen. It is daunting, and I figure I need to work backwards - try to find out what the accessibility map apps look for and use those pairs. If I know what target I am shooting for I guess it will be alright. This is like my first week looking into this and I hope to find these targets soon.

What exactly you are trying to do? Import data? Map something manually on your own? Something else?
Add keys to existing nodes mostly. Possibly using tasks.openstreetmap.org and/or possibly doing something in a batch if I can get data from the city to use. These structures seem well defined, thankfully. And the crossings and signal locations look to be complete.
In this case I would strongly encourage to start from manual mapping. StreetComplete Android app may be useful here (disclaimer: I am involved in making it).

Thank you!
