Description
Description
As shown in example 2 on the Key:crossing:markings wiki page, segregated foot & bicycle crossings can have different markings. Should iD allow specifying them (easily without manually editing tags)? Currently it only sets crossing:markings.
The current situation could lead to users unknowingly disrupting already correctly tagged segregated crossings so that all three are tagged: crossing:markings, cycleway:crossing:markings, and footway:crossing:markings. The two specific keys are currently not used a lot though, roughly ~7 k uses according to taginfo.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the current iD crossing preset or tagging behavior and compare it with example 2 on the Key:crossing:markings wiki page. The work is done when segregated crossings can specify distinct markings for crossing:markings, cycleway:crossing:markings, and footway:crossing:markings without manual tag editing, while existing tags are preserved.
