[Talk-GB] Tagging UK Parallel crossings - Zebra for cycles

[James Derrick]

Hi,

After a cycle survey of the newly completed Rake Lane roundabout in 
North Tyneside, I've updated the map but wondered about better tagging 
for Parallel Crossings. This roundabout is heralded as being "Dutch 
Style" and it is good - just a shame the drivers don't know the law! :-(


# What is a Parallel Crossing

To quote Rule 195, Highway code:

   "Parallel crossings are similar to zebra crossings, but include a 
cycle route alongside the black and white stripes."

# Current tagging

Currently the pedestrian Zebra crossings are tagged:

```
crossing=uncontrolled
crossing_ref=zebra
highway=crossing
kerb=lowered
tactile_paving=yes
```

The cycle parallel crossings are mapped as separate points for routing 
as there are cycle give_way and oneway restrictions.

```
bicycle=designated
crossing=uncontrolled
crossing_ref=zebra
highway=crossing
kerb=lowered
tactile_paving=yes
```

Zebra + `bicycle=designated` is functionally correct, but is there a 
better way please? Anyone familiar with Oxford or Birmingham examples?

(tactile_paving=yes on the highway=cycleway nodes may be an exaggeration)

Happy Mapping,


James
