You're right. In that case, it probably makes most sense to use only railway=crossing and drop the others (as Richard suggested). > The thing is that if even if tramway track is embedded into a roadbed and it > looks obvious at the Mapnik in the OSM they are usually mapped as separate > ways. Crossing of each of them are separate nodes: one at the > highway=something another one at the railway=something. The problem here is that pedestrians are routed along the highway=* way and, as you wrote, tram tracks are usually (unfortunately) mapped as separate ways. Consequently, the railway=crossing node is disconnected from the highway=* way with the highway=crossing node (that is, on another way). Therefore a router doesn't know that trams also pass this pedestrian crossing (except if pavements and pedestrian crossings are mapped as separate ways, which, however, has other drawbacks).
