A pedestrian warning indicates an area where pedestrians share a roadway with motor vehicles.

This should not be confused with highway=crossing (), a place where pedestrians cross a roadway.

How to map

Pedestrian hazards may be mapped in the following ways:

  • Place a node node at the location of the pedestrian hazard traffic sign, tagged traffic_sign=hazard + hazard=pedestrians.
  • Tag a node node along a highway=* way way at the location of the sign
  • Tag the section way of highway=* where the pedestrian hazard is present.
