FWIW, I would say a crossing is somewhere there is a clear expectation 
that people will cross the road. For example, where a sidewalk connects 
to the curb on either side of the road but there are no markings on the 
pavement would be an unmarked crossing. I've seen these in both aerial 
imagery and in person.

To respond to Paul's point, I would tend to think of "marking" as 
referring to markings *on the road pavement*, not just on the sidewalk.
