| 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 tag is set for the node where the both ways are crossing (footway and street, street and railway and so on).
The crossing tag
- crossing=traffic_signals
- Position this tag where the crossing-traffic (pedestrian, bicycles) have their own traffic lights.
- Mostly near highway=traffic_signals.
- traffic_signals:sound=yes/no
- Pedestrian traffic (Pelican/Toucan/Pegasus) with sound for the visually impaired.
- traffic_signals:vibration=yes/no
- Pedestrian traffic signals (Pelican/Toucan/Pegasus) with vibration for the visually impaired.
- 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.
- (There is a proposal for mapping these with more detail: Proposed features/Traffic island.)
Additional tags
- bicycle=*
- A value of
yesmeans that pedal cyclists are permitted to ride across the crossing.
- horse=*
- A value of
yesmeans that horse riders are permitted to ride across the crossing.
- segregated=boolean
- (no default assumed) A value of
yesindicates 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 ofyesindicates that the crossing may be managed by a crossing guard at busy times.
- crossing_ref=*
- The traditional, region-specific reference, such as
zebraorpelican.
- sloped_curb=yes/no/one/both
- To indicate whether a wheelchair can pass the crossing.
- Tag on the node representing the curb on the highway=footway for each side of the crossing. Add the footway as single way where needed.
- tactile_paving=yes/(no)/incorrect
- To indicate whether there is a pattern in the ground that is designed to be detected with a blindman's stick.
- Tag on the node representing the curb on the highway=footway. Add the footway as single way where needed.
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. (not button operated) |
highway=crossing | crossing=zebra | 
|
| Pelican crossing ('traditional' UK crossing name) A crossing with traffic lights, and signals for pedestrians only. (button operated or not) |
highway=traffic_signals | crossing=pelican | 
|
| 'Toucan' crossing ('traditional' UK crossing name) A crossing with traffic lights, and signals for pedestrians and cyclists. (button-operated or not) |
highway=traffic_signals
traffic_signals:vibration=yes/no traffic_signals:minimap=yes/no
|
crossing=toucan |
|
| Pegasus crossing ('traditional' UK crossing name) A crossing with traffic lights and signals for pedestrians, cyclists, and horse riders. |
highway=traffic_signals
traffic_signals:minimap=yes/no segregated=yes (sometimes |
crossing=pegasus | 
|
| Lollipop crossing
A supervised crossing for school-age children operated at specific times. UK-Specific term. (DE: Schülerlotsen / Verkehrshelfer, NL: Klaar-over) |
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.
