<div dir="auto"><div>Thanks for pointing this out. It is a case of ambiguity which already exists with crossing=marked/unmarked (of course no excuse for a new tagging scheme to carry the same ambiguities of older schemes). In any case, what a pedestrian/driver/government sees as "markings" are often 3 different things, and I guess what one mapper's uncontrolled/marked is another mapper's unmarked. See <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:crossing%3Dunmarked" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:crossing%3Dunmarked</a> under "tricky cases" for some of the unresolved cases.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I'd like this to be objective as possible to avoid these ambiguities.

I believe we have resolved all the disagreements on the talk page, and I would invite anyone to have a look at the current state before we start a vote. Most notably, we collected some of the more obscure crossing marking types and pinned down the definition of what exactly "markings" means. Still, no other scheme is being deprecated by this. </span><br></div><div><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"></span><br></div><div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:rgb(248,249,250)"><a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Proposed_features/crossing:markings" rel="noopener noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Proposed_features/crossing:markings</span></a></span><br></div></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"></span><br></div><div><span style="background-color:rgb(248,249,250);color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">Alex</span></span><br></div><div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:rgb(248,249,250)"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">(Popball)</span></span><br></div></div></blockquote><div dir="auto"><br></div> </div>
