as you described it above it isn't a crossing, because nothing is crossed, right? So maybe crossing might not be the right tag. That said there are currently 6955 ways tagged with the tag crossing=*, admittedly much less than nodes (367635), but still it is quite possible to map like this. cheers, Martin
