Hi I recently noticed this changeset comment: https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/46680980
It seems that the Wiki suggests three alternative ways of mapping a pedestrian traffic-light controlled crossing: 1. Entire crossing mapped as a node: highway <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:highway>=crossing + crossing <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:crossing>=traffic_signals <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:crossing%3Dtraffic_signals> 2. Entire crossing mapped as a node (alternative): highway <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:highway>=*traffic_signals* + crossing <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:crossing>=traffic_signals <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:crossing%3Dtraffic_signals> 3. Crossing mapped separately and tagged highway <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:highway>=crossing <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dcrossing> + crossing <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:crossing>=traffic_signals <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:crossing%3Dtraffic_signals> Traffic lights tagged: highway <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:highway>=*traffic_signals* + crossing <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:crossing>=no + traffic_signals:direction <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:traffic_signals:direction> =forward/backward According to the Wiki ( https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dtraffic_signals), the latter is strongly recommended: Historically I've tended to use the specific UK shortcuts eg. highway=crossing crossing=pelican but I'm happy to change if the consensus is that any of the above methods are to be preferred. I've never been happy that crossings aren't rendered with a traffic light symbol but have no wish to tag for the renderer. My worry with Option 3 is that some routing programs might view it as two (or even three) separate sets of traffic lights. Any advice gratefully received, Adam
