Sometimes, there are two crossings adjacent, or nearly adjacent,
making a place convenient as an informal crossing point for
wheelchairs, pushchairs, barrows, etc.
Often, however, there is a dropped kerb on one side, but not the
other, That's still useful info someone needs to drop off a wheelchair
user, for example.
Footway crossovers can be legally blocked by permission of the occupier
of the property for which they were provided. Also they are not
necessarily in places where it would be safe for a pedestrian to cross.
I'd suggest this is overmapping, and any attempt to map a pedestrian
crossing at the point would be subjective.
Dropped kerbs for pedestrians are placed at safe places, albeit
generally only near junctions, and it is illegal to block them.
