This key indicates whether a pedestrian, bicycle, or equestrian crossing is controlled by a traffic signal. It is intended as a replacement for crossing=traffic_signals, making it possible to simultaneously indicate whether a crossing is marked and whether it is signalized. This combination is especially relevant in some regions where unmarked, signalized crossings and marked, unsignalized crossings are both common. See this proposal for more details.
Values
- crossing:signals=yes – the crossing is controlled by a traffic signal, whether or not it has road markings
- crossing:signals=no – the crossing is not controlled by a traffic signal, whether or not it has road markings
Tags to use in combination
- crossing=marked or unmarked – whether the crossing is marked on the roadway
- crossing:markings=* - the existence and style of crossing markings on the roadway
- button_operated=* – whether the pedestrian signals are operated by a call button
- traffic_signals:sound=* – the kind of audio cues emitted by the pedestrian signals
- traffic_signals:vibration=* – whether a haptic vibration accompanies the pedestrian signals
Examples
United States (Florida):
crossing=unmarked
crossing:signals=no
United States (Oregon):
crossing=marked
crossing:signals=no
United States (New Jersey):
crossing=unmarked
crossing:signals=yes
United States (New York):
crossing=marked
crossing:signals=yes
United States (Indiana):
crossing=marked
crossing:signals=yes
(Pedestrians obey the main traffic signal; proposed to be tagged crossing:signals=shared.)

Country-specific information
In some countries, signalized crossings are reliably implemented in conjunction with marked crosswalks. However, in others, the presence of signals and the presence of road markings at a crossing are decoupled. Known countries where unmarked, signalized crossings may be found include the United States and Iran.[1] This is a work in progress list, so if you have information about more countries where this combination can be found, you may add to this section.
