What is a "crossing"?

A crossing is a designated place where people or vehicles can safely move from one side of a road or path to the other. It can refer to pedestrian crossings, where people walk across the street, or railway crossings, where a road intersects with railroad tracks, allowing vehicles and pedestrians to pass over. Crossings are often found at intersections, busy streets, or other points where travel between two areas is needed. They are typically marked with signs, lines, or signals to help guide and ensure the safety of those crossing.

What is a "crossing"?

In architecture, a crossing is the area in a church where the nave, the main part of the church, intersects with the transept, the side part that crosses the nave. This intersection often forms a large, open space that is sometimes covered by a dome or tower. The crossing is an important architectural feature in many large churches and cathedrals, as it often serves as a focal point and adds to the overall grandeur of the building.
