Proposal
Add the property shared_green=yes to pedestrian crossings where vehicles on the road share green light with pedestrians who cross the road.
Rationale
It is not unusual, at least in some regions, that vehicles turning right share the green light with pedestrians who cross the street. These situations are more dangerous than places where green light is not shared with pedestrians, so it seems interesting to record this information, as it would be helpful e.g. when trying to assess the safety of different alternative routes.
Tagging
Add shared_green=* to the crossing node highway=crossing where it is controlled by crossing=traffic_signals.
Applies to
Crossing nodes where pedestrians cross the road and the crossing is controlled by traffic lights.
