This was described as an option on the highway=crossing wiki page until it was changed on 07:52, 3 October 2020by user Emvee <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Emvee> by addng the diagram and its description. If you don't like it, please change it back - I used it in place of a longish explanation. Both of those are better, thanks! The routers that I use for testing seem to be aware of crossings without crossing nodes, so I too often forget to tag them.
I've always been surprised to see a footway=crossing/cycleway=crossing way with the intersection node tagged as highway=crossing. There's only a single physical crossing, so this seems contra to the one-feature-one-element rule. A highway=crossing node makes sense in an area without mapped footways/cycleways. But if the crossing ways are mapped, routing software will need to examine the intersection node and scan the properties of all highways intersecting there. It seems to make tagging the node itself redundant. Are there really routers that require the node be tagged as well? Jason
