This was described as an option on the highway=crossing wiki page until it was changed on 07:52, 3 October 2020by user Emvee <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Emvee> by addng the diagram and its description. If you don't like it, please change it back - I used it in place of a longish explanation. (I also moved the two stops away from the end nodes of the ways as the tag direction=forward|backward is better not placed on a node that connects two ways ) This recent wiki change by Emvee <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Emvee> is in my view not helpful, or even misleading, as it does discourage a wide-spread tagging practice (if we like this or not is a different question, but it's established tagging, and the wiki is supposed to describe the establsihed methods of tagging) Volker (Italy) <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> Virus-free. www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2>
