Usage

A transition is a location change, often when overhead line connects to underground cables.
For overhead (or underground) lines stopping without connecting to a line in another location, you should use termination

This value is only suitable for overhead lines that stop.
For underground cables connecting to a continuous overhead line, see branch.
This value should be used in combination with existing location:transition=yes.

This value can't be combined with itself, cross and straight to describe several situations on the same support level.
It is not part of IEC 60050 norm.

Examples

Power

Photo Location Tagging Note
Power portal substation transition.jpg France

power=insulator
line_attachment=anchor
line_management=transition
line_arrangement=horizontal

The concrete portal should be mapped as a way and the line should connect to it on a power=insulator node. A bay line (inside the substation) connects to the incoming line, it's a transition from the management point of view
Power tower split transition.jpg France

power=tower
line_attachment=anchor
line_management=split|transition
line_arrangement=vertical
location:transition=yes

Two power circuits split on this tower with an underground transition
A transition France

power=pole
line_attachment=anchor
line_management=transition
line_arrangement=horizontal
location:transition=yes

A medium voltage overhead power line connects to an underground power cable on a pole. It's a straight connection without situation like branch or split so it's a transition.
