Because there are countries where pedestrian crossings with traffic signals also have zebra markings and it's not obvious that crossing=zebra excludes crossings with traffic signals (they are even called zebra crossings too). Therefore these crossings often get wrongly tagged crossing=zebra. Besides, the meaning of crossing=uncontrolled is even less clear. > On Fri, 26 Oct 2018 at 01:19, Bryan Housel <[email protected]> wrote: > > - `crossing=unmarked` which is labeled “Unmarked Crossing” > > Tagging "unmarked crossings" does not make sense for me.

The absence of a highway=crossing (and a crossing=*) tag on a node shared by a road and a footway doesn't mean that there is an unmarked crossing, it could also mean that the footway continues on the sidewalk or that the pedestrian crossing hasn't been mapped yet.
