I do not fully agree here. In Germany, I often see a traffic sign "Vorsicht Düker"
(~ "Attention! Culvert") next to these culverts. I am not sure why I should pay attention, but it seems that some people think that the traffic on the road should notify it. Maybe because it also often means that there is a barrier=fence along the road. In fact I thought that these signs are the explanation for the use of tunnel=culvert on a node.

We map it as a node (and only as a node). Did I miss something? In this case, the highway and the railway share the same level. +1 the rail and road share an intersection. it is a level crossing. The whole point of a level crossing is to say "Hey!" the road and train meet here! that's why they share the node. a train in a tunnel doesn't - so it doesn't share a node with the road(s) above. There is no notice to a driver of subway lines, storm drains, water pipes, etc in the road as you drive - why is the culvert a node property of the road? Water and a road sharing the same node on the same level is called a ford. A culvert is a type of tunnel. Zoom in and make a tiny going across the road and tag it as a culvert. In general, Tunnels are a property of ways, not nodes. Occasionally it is not completely sealed (there is a grate, or just rail ties and track), but it none the less has no bearing on the traffic on the track, road, or path above it - so it does not share a node with the road/track above - just as power lines crossing above do not either. It is not a stream that you have to get your car through. it is a small tunnel under the road. So tag it as a way. tunnels on nodes - especially on shared nodes with roads that are not in tunnels seems really really bad. Javbw
