[Talk-us] Cycleway Crossings

[Volker Schmidt]

There are many different OSM tagging "dialects" to describe the details of
a foot-cycle-way crossing a road.
I looked up the situation of the example on Mapillary. From that it looks
as if the specific path is a combined foot cycle way  (yellow diamond sign
with a bicycle and a pedestrian side by side).
That means the path could be tagged as
highway=path
bicycle=designated
foot=desgnated
segregated=no
(plus surface, smoothness, width, lit etc)
The part that crosses the road (between the kerbs) should additionally be
tagged with
path=crossing
The crossing node between the foot-cycle-way and the road should be tagged
as
highway=crossing
crossing=uncontrolled
foot=yes
bicycle=yes

The essential part is that the crossing node caries the information that is
needed fr routing along the road for cars, and for bicycles and pedestrians
along the foot cycle way.

I noted that the highway=path carries the name and the the corresponding
relation carries the same name. That seems redundant.
