The crossing:signals=*
key indicates whether a pedestrian, bicycle, or equestrian crossing is controlled by a traffic signal.
Combined with crossing:markings=*
, this allows for clear representation of all combinations of crossing markings and signals without relying on the older and often unclear crossing=*
tag.
Values
crossing:signals=yes
– the crossing is controlled by a traffic signal, whether or not it has road markingscrossing:signals=no
– the crossing is not controlled by a traffic signal, whether or not it has road markings

Software support
Editors
- The JOSM Sidewalks plugin synchronizes
crossing:signals=*
between the way and node representations of a given crossing. - OpenStop asks if the crossing is button-operated. [1]
- Rapid's crossing presets have a Crossing Signals field. [2]
- StreetComplete asks if the pedestrian must wait for a traffic signal at the crossing. [3]
Routers
- GraphHopper considers
crossing:signals=yes
to be synonymous withcrossing=traffic_signals
andcrossing:markings=no
crossing:signals=no
to be synonymous withcrossing=unmarked
. [4] - MOTIS Per Pedes Routing indicates whether the crossing is signalized [5][6][7] and can calculate a detour that avoids unmarked, unsignalized crossings. [8]
