Re: [Tagging] Use of crossing:island where crossings and islands are mapped separately

That suggested restriction: not marking up a simple crossing way
with tactile_paving yes/no to indicate whether the common case for the UK,
that the sidewalk endpoints do or don't have that ribbed paving
- requiring micro-mapping at the level of marking up the nodes on
the ends instead of the way -
seems... overly prescriptive to me.

I have encountered them on freeways and other major roads that allow

How about

cycleway = shoulder
shoulder:barrier = rumble_strip

There may be many uncontrolled crossings (no lights, no

I use

crossing=unmarked
tactile_paving=yes

for those.

Certainly.  Clay-pigeon shooting, for one subtype, as an example.

I think rifle-shooting was a component of a triathlon in a recent
Winter Olympic, too.

 They might end up being called molehills or

Preferably this springy attract/repel should account for the

Here are the ones that I think are worth considering:

This is already covered by the approved tag bridge:movable and its

various sub-keys that describe different types of movable bridges.



For the swing bridge, it's covered.  But the text says "Opening or swing
bridge."
I have no idea what an opening in a route might be if it's not a movable
bridge
but maybe somebody else on the list does.


Lift bridge.  Has a horizontal axis for the moving part, which moves vertically.
Think of Tower Bridge,

As opposed to a vertical axis so that the bridge roadbed can swivel in
the horizontal plane.  That would be a "swing bridge".

Both are "opening bridges".



- Hidden dip

Maybe.  There is a barely used tag hazard=dip.  Is this a permanent feature?




I don't know.  I don't recall ever seeing that sign.  But in my part of the
world we have old hump-backed bridges so it's conceivable we have
roads with hidden dips, too.


It's a hazard you want to know about if you are a car driver thinking
of an overtake.  "don't do it; an oncoming car might suddenly appear".

In the UK, at least, there is a legal distinction: motor traffic
is required to give way to pedestrians *waiting to cross* at a
zebra crossing; this does not apply for crossings that are marked
(and have feature useful to pedestrians such as refuge islands
and dropped kerbs).

I could imagine, for example, sight-challenged pedestrians wanting
to know about zebra-crossings specifically.
