How to map
To map a pedestrian crossing, place a node 
with the way representing the road, and set this highway=crossing tag on the node (not on the way). It's a good idea to further classify the crossing with the tag...
crossing=* which more accurately describes specific types of pedestrian crossings. More combination tags are described on the Key:crossing page.
footway=crossing and cycleway=crossing are sometimes used on ways which lead from a sidewalk to the crossing node (The node which has this highway=crossing tag)
Similar tags
railway=crossing used where a highway or footway crosses a railway.
Rendering
Shows up in OSM2World and in OSM France.
Currently it is rendered as a yellow dot on OpenCycleMap.
It also is displayed in the JOSM Editor
Routing
Used by OsmAnd, a routing software, to signal and alert.
