Without knowing the 3 objects in situ, in maps and aerial imagery they<br>
do look like 3 usual crossings. Like all crossings, they do have a<br>
certain length and width, i.e. as geometric shape, all crosssings are<br>
not a line but an area (mostly squares) just like streets, waterways<br>
etc. But in OSM sense, why shall these 3 not seen as line but areas?<br>
<br>
I'd better understand "area" for crossings like<br>
<a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/50.00152/8.25936" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/50.00152/8.25936</a> which in contrast<br>
to an X-crossing (see <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedestrian_scramble" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedestrian_scramble</a>)<br>
has not just 6 lines interconnecting 4 points, but where you can go from<br>
any point to any point.<br>
