Basic question I think, for a bicycle router bicycle=no on a node means it should "avoid" crossing the node likely by adding a moderate penalty as the cyclist could make the choice to dismount passing the node. I know at least on bicycle router implementing it this way, see https://github.com/abrensch/brouter/issues/265

Question now is if this rule should be applied differently if it is used in combination with highway=crossing.

The recent "meaning of highway=crossing + bicycle=no" thread makes the case that it means "you cannot use this crossing to cross road while cycling, it does not affect legality of cycling on the road"

I think this is a bad idea as that way the access can not be evaluated in node context (a router would have to look at the incoming and outgoing way) while adding bicycle=yes/no to a crossing node does not give "additional possibilities"; by giving the right access rights on the ways connecting to the node all possible access scenarios can be covered.

Started this new thread as I just subscribed to the tagging list and I think this title is more focusing on what is the point but please have a look at "meaning of highway=crossing + bicycle=no" thread for the other side of the story, https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/tagging/2020-October/055611.html

Would be good to get some feedback from others as this has been a (too) long debate between only me and the of the author of the "meaning of highway=crossing + bicycle=no" thread, see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Tag:highway%3Dcrossing#highway.3Dcrossing_with_bicycle.3Dno
