Tag:crossing=marked

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

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Starting from v2.12.0, released Dec 2018, iD described crossing=zebra as "outdated" and encouraged users to switch to crossing=marked + highway=crossing.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.

Tagging schemes and tag growth evolution

Graphs of different schemes are shown on the following page link:

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