I always try and add a node for crossings with these five elements:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/6936050174
(obviously the kerb, tactile and island vary as necessary)

The aim is to help pedestrian routing, so I'd always have sidewalk
info (either style) as well. Given this is the aim, it is very
occasionally necessary to add a crossing node where there are no
dropped kerbs or other signs of an actual crossing, but my view is
that it is better to have the information of a "bad" crossing than no
info at all (most people can step down a kerb, and the data provides
the info necessary for those that can't)..
