Tools for this tag |
|
This tag describes a pedestrian crossing that is marked but not controlled by traffic lights or people.
The type of marking can still be described explicitly with crossing_ref=*
Another common way to map such crossings is to use crossing=zebra
or crossing=uncontrolled
.
How to map
Set a node on the highway where the transition is and add highway=crossing + crossing=marked.
Tags to use in combination
- bicycle=yes/no
- tactile_paving=yes/no
- wheelchair=*
- crossing:island=yes/no
- lit=yes/no
Editor
iD
Starting from v2.12.0, released Dec 2018, iD described crossing=zebra as "outdated" and encouraged users to switch to crossing=marked + highway=crossing. This has attracted controversy.
This change was reverted in v2.17.0, released Dec 2019, due to ambiguity issues raised by mappers.[1]
Tagging schemes and tag growth evolution

The amount of objects increased exponential after implementation of a iD preset end of 2018 via v2.12 [2]
