Those all look fine, in that I wouldn’t change it if I saw it mapped that way. I would expect any of these should be understood as a crosswalk by data consumers: highway=footway, footway = crossing highway=cycleway, cycleway = crossing highway=path, path = crossing You could read this

Paul, Bryan, Thanks for your help with this! My issue was with bicycle trails that cross roads, as they usually put a crosswalk in for these cases, but the route itself can support other non-motorized vehicles. I think this gives me some good options that would be acceptable. 1) I could use

It’s ok to map them as either a single intersection node or a way. Here is my understanding from the various wiki pages the document these things, and it matches what I see people map in places with sidewalks and crosswalks. Keep in mind, the wiki does seem to change kind of frequently, and
