[Tagging] Feature Proposal - crossing=marked

[osm.tagging at thorsten.engler.id.au]

Haven’t checked if it shows up as an error, but technically, the grass on each side is the “sidewalk”, and it is simply a shortcoming of the current tagging schemes that it’s not possible to properly tag it as pedestrian routable area.

 

These lowered kerbs represents points with easy access from sidewalk to street for wheelchair users or people pushing prams, and I think it’s worthwhile to map them.

I must admit that I only map crossings when they are between formed footpaths eg

 

https://www.google.com/maps/@-28.070784,153.4361817,3a,75y,133.97h,57.19t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1saeYx4cpvnikG8KXcdh0pGw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 

 

https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/553154851, not where there is only a grass footpath.

 

I do generally map crossings as long as they have lowered kerbs, like here:

That one, I would have terminated the crossing at the marked road, rather than taking it to the other side

 

or even:

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/558999688670609448/577571624585527296/unknown.png

 

& that I wouldn't have marked at all. Does it show up in OSMose / OSM Inspector etc as an error because it's not "attached" to anything?

 

Thanks

 

Graeme
