Hi André, I think where a visible painting like at zebra crossings is painted along a street as you describe, that isn't a crossing (it doesn't cross anything), but more like a sidewalk without being raised or separated by anything else but the color pattern on the ground.
Tagging those as crossing IMHO would be wrong. regards Peter Am 22.07.2014 11:43, schrieb André Pirard: > On 2014-07-22 11:01, Jo wrote : >> FYI it doesn't seem likely that the event of dropping highway=bus_stop >> or highway=speed_camera will be dropped in a foreseeable future, >> meaning you'll have to keep double tagging everything. >> >> In Belgium all red light cameras do double duty as speed cameras, so I >> didn't have this particular problem.
