[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC (etc) for crossing:signals

[Volker Schmidt]

Two spontanous reactions

1) You cannot deprecate a tagging that is used 750k times
(crossing=uncontrolled) or 570k times (crossing=traffic_signals)

2) please  define the terms you use.
What is "signalization"?
I know these terms: traffic signals, road marking (=horizontal traffic
signs), signs (=vertical traffic signs), but signalization?

crossing=uncontrolled:
>   - signalization for pedestrians is undefined
>   - signalization for traffic *should* not exist, but due to confusions
> over the meaning of the tag, might.
>   - markings are implied, but due to confusions over the meaning of the
> tag, might not not.
>
> crossing=unmarked:
>   - signalization for pedestrians is undefined
>   - signalization for traffic is undefined
>   - there are no markings
>
> crossing=traffic_signals
>   - signalization for pedestrians: yes
>   - signalization for traffic is undefined
>   - markings are undefined
>
> So, you can see the problem: the values are describing completely
> different things and the rest is ambiguous.
