Sometimes there may be 'no pedestrians' signs across one or more approaches to a traffic light-controlled intersection. This isn't a case where pedestrian=no could be applied, since you're allowed to walk on the road, just not to cross at that point. Is there a way to tag this? |

The wiki documents highway=crossing + crossing=no for tagging a node where you would expect to be able to cross the street, but where in fact no possibility to cross the street exists. Unfortunately, this will not solve the problem for applications and is at most informational for other mappers. There still doesn't appear to be a proper solution for this yet. I'm not sure exactly where I'd place that. Here's an example intersection; you're not allowed to cross to the southwest corner from either adjacent corner. Say you're getting walking directions from the bus stop to the south, in front of the Chevron, to Centra Care to the north. You're not allowed to cross Hotel Plaza Boulevard at the light (though, now that I look at it, I think you can cross northbound, just not southbound; assume the restriction northbound for now). (Here foot=no on SR 535 between the lights works, but more generally it won't.)

Not sure I understand this. What country are you in where "no possibility to cross the street exists" ? Here in the UK, the only place where you can't cross a street is across a motorway.

In Florida (USA) it's illegal to cross the street between two adjacent traffic light controlled intersections (in other words there are no intersections between).

use foot=no or access:foot=no. This is an important information for pedestrian routing software and of course shall be mapped. 2
I'd go with foot=no, since access:foot is redundant in the OSM sense.

The tag [access:]foot=no doesn't refer to crossing a road, but means that you are not allowed to walk along the road. So it is not appropriate for the situation in the question: "This isn't a case where pedestrian=no (I assume he meant foot=no) could be applied, since you're allowed to walk on the road, just not to cross at that point."

The 'no pedestrian' sign is an informational sign. Just like the 'no exit' sign it tells the drivers of an missing feature. In OSM we do not map missing features, only features that are there. You should mark the crossings with highway=crossing and crossing=* and don't map the 'no pedestrian'. That's not at all true. It's legal to walk (against traffic) on a road without sidewalks, and to cross others at intersections without defined crossings. The 'no pedestrians' sign means that you're not allowed to do what's normally legal.
