According to the wiki, railway=crossing is "a point where pedestrians
may cross a railway", while railway=level_crossing is "where a road

simply look at
Good question. I just noticed that the other day while using the
presets window. I'd say deprecate one of them. I'd be inclined to
deprecate level_crossing because crossing is nice and terse. But
level_crossing is used more (143k vs 22k for railway=crossing) and
railway=crossing causes confusion wi

Actually both highway=crossing and railway=crossing mark a place where
you can meet different type of traffic (pedestrian-car, car-train,

I've been thinking about how to tag schools, specifically in regards
to the level of education offered (primary/secondary,
elementary/middle/high) and who operates the school (public/private).
For the first, there's some discussion on the school talk page about
using the ISCED system:

Life's too short to argue about something like this.
Just use something that's locally meaningful - that's all most mappers will
understand, and if there's an international scale, document that and maybe
people will use it (but they probably won't).
level=secondary/primary works for me
If it's s

In France, we created the following sub-tag "school:FR" :

I've been using what makes sense locally. For me that is,
school:level={primary|secondary|...}
school:sector={public|private}
school:selective={yes|no}
But perhaps I should be using school:au:level, school:au:selective and
school:au:sector like Pieren is.
Regardless I think it should be up to ma

Don't we already tag tertiary schools differently by the following tags?:
amenity=university
amenity=college
In my country, colleges are a separate classification from
universities, so the two tags already somewhat makes sense. But I
would like a way to tag if a school provides primary education,

Recently there has been a discussion on the German list on how to tag
religious schools. Mo
