Tagging methods when the entire area is a crosswalk(영역 전체가 건널목인 경우)
Ji alî adreamy ve di 6 July 2023 de bi English hatiye nivîsîn. Cara dawiyê di 16 July 2023 de hatiye nûkirin.Nowadays, crosswalks are often drawn in an X shape to accommodate pedestrians.
And here we have an entire area designated as a crosswalk.
How do you tag them in these cases?
Also, there’s not even a traffic light here at all, so I want to designate this as a pedestrian zone.
What are your views?
After considering different cases and situations and comparing the OSM wiki, I concluded that the ‘area:highway=pedestrian’ tag is the most similar.
The rationale is that…
- There are too many different pedestrian directions.(건널 수 있는 방향점이 매우 많다.)
- There are no traffic lights and pedestrians can enter at any time.(교통 신호등이 없고 보행자가 언제든지 길로 들어설 수 있다.)
- These attributes are very similar to ‘highway=pedestrian’.
For reference, I’m adding a discussion from the OSM forum.

@TrickyFoxy Oh, sorry. A simple mistake. XD

area:highway=pedestrianis already in use as the outline of ahighway=pedestrian, which is not what you have here.Şîroveya Britzz a 16 July 2023 saet 13:45
There is a traffic_calming=table on your photography too, no ? Another solution : area:highway=footway & footway=crossing, i think it’s more precise

@Britzz, Cool, I agree.
I took it as a roadway area but also a pedestrian area, but if you look at it as a footway area but also a crosswalk, the tag you suggested is a good choice.
