Yeah, there really are combinations around here:
does it have signs?
does it have traffic signals?
does it have specific pedestrian-facing traffic signals? (Some
intersections just have you cross at the same time as motor traffic in
your direction rolls)
are the traffic signals pedestrian- or cyclist-controlled? (Is there a
button for you to push?)
does it have pavement markings?
And almost all the combinations are possible. (In addition, there are
other features such as lowered curbs/kerbs that need handling)
I'm fine with leaving crossing=* as it is for legacy compatibility,
but we *do* want to move toward orthogonality, since that's what we've
got on the ground.
