This streamlines the fields on all line geometry crossings. - "oneway" - "surface" - "smoothness" - "crossing_raised" - "access" Those fields are always the last in the list. For traffic signal those specific fields are put above. Which is also the only change for one vertex preset in this commit, to have the "crossing_raised" come after the traffic signal specific fields and so the order is the same across presets. This will roll out the smoothness field for all crossings; it was previously only present in some. But given the importance of smoothness for accessibility I think that is OK. This commit also moves the surface (and smoothness where present) fields further down the list which reduces the priority a bit. The biggest change in priority is the oneway-field which had the first position before and now is below the defaults- and markings-field.
iD Tagging Schema
This is the directory of OpenStreetMap tagging data used by the iD editor. It includes presets, fields, deprecations, and more.

Background
OpenStreetMap itself does not have a formal rigid database schema, but relies on a tagging folksonomy instead.
Editing tools need to know how tags are used in order to facilitate mapping. This Tagging Schema fills that need, but with a number of caveats:
- This isn't authoritative or definitive
- Tagging interpretations may vary from mapper to mapper, place to place, and over time
- Our primary aim is to serve the needs of iD mappers (but other tools are welcome to use this too)
- We support tags based on practicality, usage, and community approval
- Sometimes there are reasons we can't support a tag even if it's used or approved
Usage
Java/Android
The westnordost/osmfeatures project, a component of StreetComplete, makes it easier to use this data with Android or other Java platforms.
Use by Other Editors
iD tagging schema is used not only by iD. Here's a list of projects which use the data from the id-tagging-schema.
Related Projects
- The OpenStreetMap wiki documents the current usage of tags, and hosts discussions about proposed new tags.
- The ideditor/schema-builder project holds the documentation for the data format used in this repository
- iD also incorporates preset data from the name-suggestion-index.
- Other editors also include their own models of interpretations of OSM tags. See for example Vespucci's or JOSM's tagging presets.
