Where a tram line shares a right-of-way with the street, that is, where I can drive my car down the tracks, no crossing tag is necessary as the whole street is one big level crossing. Where it's separate, railway=level_crossing should be used. There is no need to specify a tram crossing as this is implied by the way the highway is crossing.

It would be convenient for data consumers to have the crossing explicitly tagged without having to examine the crossing street to find the correct rule. The first thing that comes to mind is railway=tram_crossing, but there's the fuzziness that comes with light_rail. Another solution is to add a modifier railway:crossing=tram since it's not level and to avoid conflict with crossing=* or railway=crossing _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging Tagging Info Page - OpenStreetMap<https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging> lists.openstreetmap.org Your email address: Your name (optional): You may enter a privacy password below.
