Proposed deletion of the page
Since the tag is used 15 years ago and today (550 for now) in the U.S., I prefer to have the page and try clarify the use. --Chris2map (talk) 06:23, 27 September 2026 (UTC)
- Agreed, there's another broader tag proposed if it means stop-controlled Proposal:Crossing=priority Kovposch (talk) 09:04, 27 September 2026 (UTC)
- Is "stop-controlled" just like crossings where vehicles are required to yield to pedestrians or do vehicles have to stop there no matter if there is a pedestrian? --Chris2map (talk) 10:37, 27 September 2026 (UTC)
- Yes, the latter. I suspect most of these
crossing=stopare used at stop-controlled intersections or junctions with stop-line upstream of crosswalk. But in my country, I have seen a few stop-controlled mid-block crosswalk (usually onhighway=service) roads, or at diverges. The one I can immediately raise is removed though (bottom-left).

- I definitely agree (as person who proposed deletion). But I think that deletion is better than zombie page with no actual content Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 21:51, 27 September 2026 (UTC)
marked and uncontrolled crossings
Are there marked but uncontrolled pedestrian crossings where pedestrians do not have the priority? I don't know one. Could anyone give an example? Marked crossings (crossing=uncontrolled) I know are zebra crossings or similar ones, without traffic lights or human guides, where vehicles must generally yield to pedestrians / let pedestrians pass. (crossing_ref=zebra has been also used.) Chris2map (talk) 10:33, 27 September 2026 (UTC)
- It depends on your exact meaning of "priority". You are obviously not allowed to drive at pedestrians on the roadway in surely everywhere. In terms of UK's Zebra Crossings, across the Commonwealth there's the term "courtesy crossing" for ones with different markings that don't have the same rules and level of priority (give-way to pedestrians stepping on or waiting to cross).
