'''Key:crossing_ref''' has traditionally been used to distinguish between [[Key:crossing]] types by their relationship to signals, signs, and markings using the British "animal" descriptions of them (zebra, pelican, puffin, etc.). The tag is intended to refer to a name that is commonly understood in the local region a crossing is mapped in, and other crossing classification descriptions have become more prevalent over time, including some which refer only to the crossing markings and do not imply anything about signalization. In many countries, the presence of markings on a crossing and the presence of pedestrian signals are not so closely linked that a description of a crosswalk type could accurately imply anything about its signalization. (For example, unmarked signalized crossings are common in the United States, and describing a crosswalk as "marked" or "unmarked" would commonly be understood as only referring to the presence or absence of markings.)

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 {{tagKey|crossing_ref}}:
 
* {{tagTag|crossing_ref|hawk}} – [[w:HAWK beacon|HAWK beacon]]
* {{tagTag|crossing_ref|pedestrian_scramble}} – [[w:Pedestrian scramble|pedestrian scramble]] with explicit markings and signals; alternatively {{tagTag|crossing:scramble|yes}}
 
As of 2021, {{tagTag|highway|crossing}} {{tagTag|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]
 
The various US crosswalk marking styles can be tagged using {{keyKey|crossing:markings}}.
 
In states that paint school crossings yellow, such as California [https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=VEH&sectionNum=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}}.
 
=== SeeExamples alsoand Proposals ===
* {{Key|crossing}} a well established tag to specify the type of crossing, usually in combination with {{tag|highway|crossing}} ▼
* [[Key:road_marking]] (Note that this tagging scheme, which is considered experimental, does not document a way to describe the marking style of a footway=crossing crosswalk line.)▼
 
=== Examples and Proposals ===
* Examples see: [[Key:crossing#Examples]]
* Proposal 2008: approved - [https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?oldid=132309 Road crossings] earlier reference to <code>crossing_ref</code> subkey
