It is not a representation of a particular device. The mapping of traffic signals is an abstraction that the particular junction or way is regulated by traffic lights. Map the signal controller box as a node and tag it as man_made= street_cabinet, street_cabinet= traffic_control.

Depending on the country and type of intersection, a traffic signal gantry may extend over the near and/or far side of the intersection or diagonally across the intersection. Do not connect the gantry to the highway=* way.

If the traffic signals are mounted on a mast arm or other gantry structure, draw a way corresponding to where it extends out above the roadway, then tag it as man_made= gantry. One of the most common values of road_marking=* is road_marking= solid_stop_line, corresponding to the line that indicates where vehicles must stop and wait for a red signal. Whether pedal cyclists are permitted to ride across the crossing. (There's also a newer more general traffic_signals:turn with right_on_red and left_on_red.) If you are allowed to make a right turn also if the traffic signal is red. Used to indicate that the traffic signals is activated by pressing a button. Indicates the traffic signals signal only the cycle traffic moving in the same direction as the OSM (highway) way upon which the they are placed: forward or in the reverse direction: backward. If the entire crossing is represented by a single node (not recommended as the attributes mostly differ from the traffic signals used for cars) add highway= traffic_signals to that node. In countries where cyclists are not legally vehicle drivers, it is good practice to also tag the crossing but only with highway= crossing and crossing= traffic_signals. If every signal is represented by its own single node (recommended), add a node with highway= traffic_signals on the place the cyclists has to stop and use the following tags to add additional details, see #Tagging also cycleway traffic signals for an example. Generally used for people who use the smartphone. Synchronized traffic light on the ground with green, red and/or yellow lights. Often used near homes of deaf-blind persons. Whether there is a device that lets the floor vibrate at walk signal. Whether there is a small tactile map at the traffic light pole to indicate the crossing layout for blind persons. Whether there is a tactile arrow available at the traffic light pole to indicate for blind persons in which direction the pedestrian crossing leads. Whether there are vibrating signals for visually impaired and deaf people. Whether there are sound signals for visually impaired people. Used to indicate that the traffic signals need to be activated by pressing a button.

Required if the traffic light is mapped as separate node, else highway= crossing + crossing= traffic_signals If the traffic signal is not separately mapped, the node that is the actual crossing between the road and highway=footway/pedestrian should be tagged with highway= crossing + crossing= traffic_signals. For this, the pedestrian crossing should be a way with highway= footway or highway= pedestrian. You can use highway= traffic_signals for pedestrian crossings to indicate the signals, that is, where to stop or where the button is located. If only cyclists are allowed to make a right turn also if the traffic signal is red. If cars (and cyclists) are allowed to make a right turn also if the traffic signal is red. When there is display a countdown of the remaining time to wait or the time remaining where crossing. Indicates the traffic signals signal only the traffic moving in the same direction as the OSM (highway) way upon which the they are placed: forward or in the reverse direction: backward. Reference number or code, if present or at least assigned to specific traffic lights.Īdditionally used to indicate special types of traffic signals, such as signals activated when emergency vehicles are leaving their depot, or signal that is normally blinking and turns red when tram is incoming. 4 Named traffic signals/traffic signal systems (Japan.).2.2.3 Tagging also cycleway traffic signals.
