What strikes me is the raise of "marked", which used to be a niche tag for crossings that were somehow marked but were not describable with the other tags, and now it is the leading value for "crossing". > > Please explain how crossing=marked is "very generic" and what value > crossing=zebra adds. > crossing=zebra is about a zebra crossing, which is a typical kind of pedestrian crossing in many countries (i.e. no traffic lights, zebra markings, possibly zebra crossing signs, according to jurisdiction). crossing=marked is about any marked crossing. > > Additionally, crossing=zebra is not an approved tag (according to the > wiki), and "It is not always clear what the intended meaning is when > used outside of the UK".

It means a zebra crossing, and I do not believe there is ambiguity in this, in the UK or in Europe. > (¹ Pedantically, I suppose you could argue that crossing=zebra refers to > a specific *form* of marking, i.e. repeated white stripes, while the > approved crossing=uncontrolled could include crossings marked only by > two parallel white lines. However, I would question the value added by > mapping that distinction.) the "approved" crossing=uncontrolled has bugged many mappers for years, and I believe the current idea about the tag is that it should be avoided. The word implies without markings (although a different meaning is defined). Cheers Martin
