This discussion is leaving me pretty bewildered. Sometimes my bewilderment can be alleviated by considering concrete examples.
On my walk yesterday, other than the implied crossing at every intersection (but see "don't map local law") I noted the following: 1. Combined foot/cycle crossing - a side path from a combined foot/cycleway onto a very lightly trafficked suburban street. Marked with signs bearing the silhouette of a bicycle about 50 m in advance of the crossing. No markings on the pavement. (This crossing is part of my daily commute. The street that it crosses is quite busy, and the sign with the bicycle silhouette has no apparent effect on the drivers. Pedestrians divide into the quick and the dead.) 2. Combined foot/cycle crossing - a combined foot/cycleway crossing a busy two-lane street at grade. Signage both ~50 m in advance and at the crossing. Flashing yellow lights (meaning 'proceed with caution') flank the sign at the crossing. The lights can by turned on by a pedestrian or cyclist pushing a button. Zebra-stripe pavement markings. 3. Zebra-stripe pavement markings at an intersection controlled by a 4-way STOP sign. 4. Zebra-stripe pavement markings at an intersection controlled by a traffic light, with no 'WAIT/WALK' pedestrian signals. 5. Zebra-stripe pavement markings at an intersection controlled by a traffic light, with 'WAIT/WALK' pedestrian signals, and a countdown timer giving the seconds remaining to cross. 6. The same, with the pedestrian or cyclist requesting the WALK signal by pressing a button. 7. Zebra-stripe pavement markings, together with a sign displaying the silhouette of school children, in the middle of a block in front of a school. This crossing may be supervised during school arrival/departure times. 8. Zebra-stripe pedestrian markings delineating the preferred footpath in a parking field, and running generally perpendicular to the parking aisles. And I'm now in confusion about how to tag any of them. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
