This key indicates whether a signal-controlled pedestrian crossing features a tactile arrow indicating to a visually impaired person the direction of the pedestrian crossing. The tactile arrow is typically located on or near the pedestrian call button.
How to map
The highway=crossing or highway=footway footway=crossing should first have a crossing=traffic_signals and / or crossing:signals=yes tag to indicate that the pedestrian crossing is signal-controlled.
It should also be tagged with button_operated=yes to indicate whether there is a pedestrian call button.
Tag it with one of the following values to indicate whether there is a tactile arrow on the device housing the call button, which may be a pole or a control box:
=no– no tactile arrow present=yes– tactile arrow present
