It's quite often that people mark every crossing between railway=* and highway=* with the railway=level_crossing tag (https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/Nls), sometimes even if both belong to the same carriageway.
While this situation is rather relevant to tramways, but it also applies other types of railways even the "heavy rails" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_running. For example: https://youtu.be/9iG0xOAgWMI?t=212. On the other hand as per the Geneva Convention on Road Traffic (https://www.unece.org/fileadmin/DAM/trans/conventn/Conv_road_traffic_EN.pdf): > (i) “Level-crossing” means any level intersection between a road and a > railway or tramway track with its own track formation; So, if a railway=* track is *embedded* into a road then it's crossing of another road is not a "level crossing". As a matter of fact it's quite common that such a crossing have no special marking or signage about it. I think that the Geneva Convention gives an important clarification which could help solving some confusion about the matter in question. -- Sent from: http://gis.19327.n8.nabble.com/Tagging-f5258744.html _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
