Usage of crossing=zebra peaked in 2019 and has been pretty much flat
since then.  The crossing:markings tag first appeared in 2023 and has
grown rapidly; at the current pace, the specific combination of
"crossing=uncontrolled, crossing:markings=zebra" is probably going to
have double the usage of "crossing=zebra" by the end of the year.
