highway=crossing

Status: in use


This tag is used on nodes with highway=traffic_signals tag, which got a separately mapped node for the pedestrian crossing, to make this information explicit. If there is no pedestrian crossing on a traffic light, consider crossing=no.

How to map

Set a node node on the highway where the stop line of the traffic signal is and add highway=traffic_signals and crossing=separate. Place a secondary node on the highway where the center of the pedestrian crossing is, and add highway=crossing and crossing=traffic_signals.

If the road is a two (or more) way road, make sure to map all stop positions of the traffic lights with individual nodes. Set on these nodes the correct direction tag with direction=forward or direction=backward on both of them and map with crossing=separate or crossing=no on each of them, to specify there's a pedestrian crossing separately mapped or none is existing.
