Great Scott. Just searched the previous messages & find I asked posted the same point just a few months back, so please ignore this if you wish, although i still think it needs clearing up if only to prevent incorrect tagging & improving the map (IMO).

Cheers

Hi

Before listing this as a request on the openstreetmap-carto I thought I'd check/discuss here first.

From the wiki http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:crossing & the default selection of the 3 main editors, the tags for a pedestrian road crossing that's separate from other traffic control lights are:
highway=crossing
crossing=*.

This combination doesn't render in Mapnik. It's led many people to (possibly inadvertently) tagging for the renderer:
highway=traffic_signals
crossing=*

Is there a reason why it's not in mapnik? It's doesn't cover up other entities as can be seen as used in the latter tag configuration.

Also, on the wiki under traffic_signals 'crossing=traffic_signals' it says "Mostly near highway=traffic_signals." Unsure what's meant by that. If the pedestrian crossing is separate they are almost certainly not near traffic signals. I think it should be clarified or removed.

Cheers
Dave F.
