    <p>I've always been surprised to see a

      footway=crossing/cycleway=crossing way with the intersection node

      tagged as highway=crossing. There's only a single physical

      crossing, so this seems contra to the one-feature-one-element

      rule.</p>

    <p>A highway=crossing node makes sense in an area without mapped

      footways/cycleways. But if the crossing ways are mapped, routing

      software will need to examine the intersection node and scan the

      properties of all highways intersecting there. It seems to make

      tagging the node itself redundant.</p>

    <p>Are there really routers that require the node be tagged as well?<br>
