Crossing tags are placed on the way and on a node for a single pedestrian crosswalk. I feel this violates OSM's "one feature, one OSM element" rule.</div><div style="font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin: 0px;">#2 seems acceptable, but it's not my personal preference. (Again, I started this thread not in order to express my preferences, simply to have the wiki compliant with approved OSM canon)</div><div style="font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin: 0px;">#3 has no connecting node between the two ways represented by the red dot? This would not be correct. There should be a connecting node.</div><div style="font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin: 0px;"><br></div><div style="font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin: 0px;">This is an example of how I prefer to map pedestrian crossings (this is common throughout downtown Denver):</div><div style="font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin: 0px;"><a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/edit#map=21/39.72565/-104.98501" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);">https://www.openstreetmap.org/edit#map=21/39.72565/-104.98501</a></div><div style="font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin: 0px;"><br></div><div style="font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin: 0px;">Here are two methods I mapped as a demonstration of mapping that I feel is correct, as well. Mapped here are two different methods that seem reasonable, tagging either the connecting node or tagging the way; but not tagging both the node and the way. Tagging both the node and the way would seem to violate the "one feature, one OSM element" rule.</div><div style="font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin: 0px;"><a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/edit#map=21/39.71293/-104.98038" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);">https://www.openstreetmap.org/edit#map=21/39.71293/-104.98038</a></div><div style="font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin: 0px;"><br></div><div id="elnk_signature_1591820054183" style="font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;"><font size="2">Cheers</font></div><div id="elnk_signature_1591820054183" style="font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;"><font size="2">Jack Armstrong</font></div><div id="elnk_signature_1591820054183" style="font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;"><font size="2">(chachafish)</font></div></div></body></html>
