[Tagging] Feature Proposal - crossing=marked

[Tony Shield]

Do we map the pedestrian aspects of traffic light controlled crossings? 
i.e the Walk/DontWalk or the Green/Red figures?

As a pedestrian I have used many British traffic junctions controlled by 
traffic lights for the vehicles but no aspects for the pedestrian who 
has to guess and hope.

Can we fit this element into the discussion?

Some of these crossings do not immediately give you those traffic warnings lights, but instead are tied to nearby traffic and turn on after a delay. When the lights turn on, there is some form of a pedestrian signal: sometimes the APS talks to you, sometimes there's a visual cue: lights turn on or a "walk" sign enables
