This is a pretty common staircase type where I live but how do I map it? Should I make lines over each other multiple times, each with different level? Or just one line and don't care about the other floors? I don't know if I'm searching for wrong terms but I have a surprisingly hard time on getting info about stairs mapping.

Can you point me to the right direction or post some example?

~~I would map it as entrance=emergency OSM wiki also proposes to add exit=emergency https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:entrance~~

I don't think that's accurate
