Use footway=crossing, together with highway=footway, to tag perpendicular sections of footway at a crossing point between two sidewalks tagged as separate way or between the footway-road intersection nodes of a dual carriageway.

If sidewalks are mapped as property on the street and the road is just a single way in OSM, there is no need for a perpendicular way and this tag. See Sidewalks for more details and a comparison of the two tagging approaches.

See also the comprehensive explanation for bicycle way tagging.

How to map

See Key:footway for usage instructions.

Case	Way tags			Area tags	Diagrams	Tagging examples
Pedestrian crossing	highway=footway + footway=crossing			area:highway=* (class of highway which footway is crossing with, eg. area:highway=primary) + junction=yes
Non-segregated "foot & bicycle" crossing	highway=path + path=crossing + foot=designated + bicycle=designated + segregated=no			area:highway=* (class of highway which footway is crossing with, eg. area:highway=primary) + junction=yes + foot=yes + bicycle=yes
Segregated "foot & bicycle" crossing	Method 1 (one linear way): highway=path + path=crossing + foot=designated + bicycle=designated + segregated=yes			Foot crossing: area:highway=* (class of highway which footway is crossing with, eg. area:highway=primary) + junction=yes Bicycle crossing: area:highway=* (class of highway which footway is crossing with, eg. area:highway=primary) + junction=yes + bicycle=yes
	Method 2 (two linear ways): Through foot part: highway=footway + footway=crossing Through bicycle part: highway=cycleway + cycleway=crossing
Segregated "foot & bicycle" crossing with traffic calming island	Method 1 (one linear way):			Foot crossings: area:highway=* (class of highway which footway is crossing with, eg. area:highway=primary) + junction=yes Bicycle crossings: area:highway=* (class of highway which footway is crossing with, eg. area:highway=primary) + junction=yes + bicycle=yes Foot part of the island: area:highway=footway Bicycle part of the island: area:highway=cycleway Side parts of the island: landuse=grass or leisure=garden or traffic_calming=island
	highway=path + path=crossing + foot=designated + bicycle=designated + segregated=yes	highway=path + foot=designated + bicycle=designated + segregated=yes	highway=path + path=crossing + foot=designated + bicycle=designated + segregated=yes
	Method 2 (two linear ways): Through foot part:
	highway=footway + footway=crossing	highway=footway	highway=footway + footway=crossing
	Through bicycle part:
	highway=cycleway + cycleway=crossing	highway=cycleway	highway=cycleway + cycleway=crossing
