A generic crossing with no traffic signals of any type, just road markings; e.g., zebra-crossings. Which means mostly used in combination[1] with highway=crossing (and crossing_ref=zebra) as mentioned in an approved proposal[2].
It is also used for pedestrian level crossing without barrier or light signal. It maybe indicated by a St. Andrew's cross.
This tag is also used for pedestrian crossings of tramway crossing.
When used as a railway level crossing, if the railroad crossing has barriers add crossing:barrier=yes instead.
If the railroad crossing has a warning light add crossing:light=yes instead.
For pedestrian crossings on a street, there is another proposed scheme available which seems to be more specific. The used tags are:
- crossing=marked - A generic crossing with no traffic-signals of any type, just road markings
- crossing=unmarked - A crossing without road markings or traffic lights
How to map
Set a node 
on the junction where the transition is and add
- at the highway
- at the railway
- by the tram
Tags to use in combination
- bicycle=yes/no - Access permission for cyclists
- tactile_paving=yes/no - Indicate if a specific place can be detected or followed with a blindman's stick
- wheelchair=* - Indicate if a special place can be used with wheelchairs

Editor preset
There is an implementation of a JOSM preset, which is using tags highway=crossing + crossing=uncontrolled + crossing_ref=zebra for a zebra-crossing (crosswalk) object.
