[[File:Crosswalk styles (en).svg|thumb|right|Crosswalk markiing styles in the United States]]
There are several MUTCD-compliant crosswalk marking styles:
* {{tag|crossing_ref|solid}}
* {{tag|crossing_ref|standard}} – the most common in the U.S.
* {{tag|crossing_ref|continental}} –
* {{tag|crossing_ref|dashed_edge}}
* {{tag|crossing_ref|zebra}}
* {{tag|crossing_ref|ladder}}
Some other MUTCD-compliant crosswalk configurations involve more than a marking style, for example a certain kind of signal. These configurations have also been tagged using {{tag|crossing_ref}}, preempting information about the marking style:
* {{tag|crossing_ref|hawk}} – [[w:HAWK beacon|HAWK beacon]]
* {{tag|crossing_ref|pedestrian_scramble}} – [[w:Pedestrian scramble|pedestrian scramble]] with explicit markings and signals; alternatively {{tag|crossing:scramble|yes}}
As of 2021, {{tag|highway|crossing}} {{tag|crossing_ref|hawk}} is the most commonly used tag for a [[w:HAWK beacon|HAWK beacon]], a relatively new kind of crossing in the United States that uses standard road markings and pedestrian signals but a unique signal directed at motorists. [https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/crossing_ref=hawk][https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/crossing:signals=hawk][https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/traffic_signals=hawk][https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/crossing=hawk]
In states that paint school crossings yellow, such as California [https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=VEH§ionNum=21368.] and Arizona[https://azdot.gov/sites/default/files/2019/07/adot-traffic-safety-for-school-area-guidelines.pdf#page=5], these crosswalks can be tagged {{tag|colour||yellow}}.
