I have mentioned without much follow-up a similar issue with highway=crossing + crossing=*. What OSM calls "crossing", zebra stripes, is in fact a "passage pour piétons" which does not necessarily cross. In Belgium (too), we have quite a number of "passages pour piétons" painted longitudinally and it makes sense. Children's safety, for example, is just as important if they have to walk alongside on the road. Or it may be painted across a parking lot, in which case mapping highway=crossing ways make sense. crossing=* alone (which, as a highway=* tag implicitly means highway:crossing) is sufficient. So, I am proposing: * to allow crossing=* on any highway=* when the painting is longitudinal * crossing:right=yes, crossing:left=yes in that case * highway=crossing for a way painted across an area André.
