User:Ulamm/Regulations and smoothness of crossings

This is a concept for a comprehensive use of the key crossing that ought to be used with nodes as well as with lines:

As a node:

highway=crossing on the crossing point of a cycleway-line (or footway-line , briddleway-line …) with a road-line (or railway track)

+ crossing=wait (instead of uncontrolled) or …

+ further tags see below

As a line:

highway=cycleway or *=footway , *=briddleway …

+ crossing=wait (instead of uncontrolled)

or *=priority (typical for the roadside cyclway of a major road crossing a smaller road)

or *=equal (also for priority of right/left approach)

or *=traffic_signals

if needed + subtag:

control=buttons

or *=sensors

or *buttons&sensors

or *=central

or special U.K. types of signalized crossings

or *=zebra (including the Polish & Austrian type of privileged bicycle crossings)

+ (not necessary with *=traffic_signals or *=zebra) marked=yes or *=no

+ slopes=no

or *=little

or *=medium

or *=steep

+ edges=no

or *=2 cm (or other height)

or *=round_sills (typically 5 cm or higher)

or *=full_curb (worst case)

or *=sinus curb (a relatively comfortable one)

or other local types

+ surface=* (to be used especially, where it differs from neighbouring both cycletrack & carriageway surfaces)
