Tools for this tag |
|
This tag is used for more accurately describing specific types of pedestrian crossings across roads, and other types of crossing over road or rail. Crossing infrastructure for the convenience of pedestrians, cyclists etc. should first be tagged with highway=crossing or railway=crossing as appropriate. The specific type of crossing may be further specified with the crossing=* tag and other properties described below.
The crossing tag
- crossing=traffic_signals
- Shows, that the crossing-traffic (pedestrian, bicycles) has their own traffic light.
- Mostly in combination with highway=traffic_signals.
- crossing=uncontrolled
- A generic crossing with no traffic-signals of any type, just road markings. e.g. Zebra-crossings; Generally referred to as a "crosswalk" in the US).
- Mostly in combination with highway=crossing.
- crossing=island
- A crossing with a small traffic-island for pedestrians in the middle of the road.
- Mostly in combination with highway=crossing.
Additional tags
- bicycle=*
- A value of
yes
means that pedal cyclists are permitted to ride across the crossing.
- horse=*
- A value of
yes
means that horse riders are permitted to ride across the crossing.
- segregated=boolean
- (no default assumed) A value of
yes
indicates that crossing traffic of differing types is segregated from each other (there is a separate crossing area for each mode of transport). For example, horse and foot traffic is sometimes segregated within a UK Pegasus Crossing.
- supervised=boolean
- (default is
no
) A value ofyes
indicates that the crossing may be managed by a crossing guard at busy times.
- crossing_ref=*
- The traditional, region-specific reference, such as
zebra
orpelican
.
- sloped_curb=no/one/both (one or both sides of the road)
- To indicate wether a wheelchair can pass the crossing.
- tactile_paving=yes/(no)/incorrect
- To indicate wether there is a pattern in the ground that can be detected with a blindman's stick.
- traffic_signals:sound=Yes/No
- To indicate wether a sound signal is available to help blind persons to detect the greenlight.
- traffic_signals:vibration=Yes/No
- To indicate wether a vibration signal is available to help blind persons to detect the greenlight.
Examples
The following table shows how the crossing might be tagged:
Name and Description | Tags | UK Shortcuts | Image |
---|---|---|---|
Zebra crossing
A crossing with no traffic lights, but with flashing amber globes on poles and distinctive white stripes on the road for pedestrians. |
highway=crossing | crossing=zebra |
|
Pelican crossing ('traditional' UK crossing name) A crossing with traffic lights, and signals for pedestrians. |
highway=traffic_signals | crossing=pelican |
|
'Toucan' crossing ('traditional' UK crossing name) A crossing with traffic lights, and button-operated signals for pedestrians and cyclists. |
highway=traffic_signals | crossing=toucan |
|
Pegasus crossing ('traditional' UK crossing name) A crossing with traffic lights and button-operated signals for pedestrians, cyclists, and horse riders. |
highway=traffic_signals
segregated=yes (sometimes |
crossing=pegasus |
|
Lollipop crossing
A supervised crossing for school-age children operated at specific times. UK-Specific term. |
highway=crossing (or traffic_signals , as appropriate)
crossing=uncontrolled (or |
| |
Traffic-Signals without a "pedestrian crossing" | highway=traffic_signals |
| |
A crossing with an island | highway=crossing
crossing=island;uncontrolled (or Uses multiple values |
Logically where crossing=no exist there can't be a highway=crossing, because it's literally not a crossing. So the combination of highway=crossing and crossing=no is inappropriate.
