Yeah, there really are combinations around here: does it have signs? does it have traffic signals? does it have specific pedestrian-facing traffic signals? (Some intersections just have you cross at the same time as motor traffic in your direction rolls) are the traffic signals pedestrian- or cyclist-controlled? (Is there a button for you to push?) does it have pavement markings? And almost all the combinations are possible. (In addition, there are other features such as lowered curbs/kerbs that need handling) I'm fine with leaving crossing=* as it is for legacy compatibility, but we *do* want to move toward orthogonality, since that's what we've got on the ground. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
