  Agreed that there is no need to specially mark the street parallel to 
the tracks.   But at cross streets, there is still an intersection that 
could be meaningful.

   And even though it is implied by the highway crossing, the 
intersection can still be called out explicitly for routers to save them 
a processing step - for example, an intersection between a railway and 
foot path can be detected, but even so it is standard convention to mark 
as railway=crossing
