State: open

Premise:
Routing for biking and walking could be improved with the inclusion of other features traditionally represented by nodes in OSM. For example, traffic signals (for signalized/protected crossings), marked crosswalks, stop signs, curb ramps for wheelchairs, etc.

We should start thinking about how we might implement this in OTP, whether directly or indirectly (something like Sean's proposal for intersections).
