I also marked some cycle crossings as hazardous, but perhaps with a certain amount of official legitimacy, in that I was preparing the data to use in cycle maps for Cambridgeshire County Council, and the ones I marked were ones they had provided but *they* recognised were not satisfactory: marking them as interim solutions, links between bits of route that they were content with. A bit of a cop out, recommending routes but then marking them as hazardous, but it did reflect realioty and was somewhat more objective than just my judgement as a mapper. I can't remember the tag I used now, it was some years ago, but it triggered a warning triangle and/or different colour on the map rendering I was doing.
