Do not ask "How is this railway crossing protected?" on railway crossings on private roads

[matkoniecz]

It is both hard to survey for (in some cases may be doable only for people working there) and value of this information is really low.

It typically happens within railway yards.

See say https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/1674572452#map=19/50.02815/20.00323 on https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/28013394#map=19/50.02815/20.00323

I can do that, unfortunately it will make query more complicated.

First step, an overpass query is now completed.

way["highway"]["access"~"^private|no$"]({{bbox}});
(._;>;);
node(w) -> .private;
node["railway"="level_crossing"]({{bbox}})->.crossings;
(.crossings; - .private;)->.public;
.public;
out;

I see no reason to exclude just private service roads, rather than all private roads.

It seems that discarding all highway=* with access=no or private, also ones with foot=* tagged is OK. See http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/HB0 listing cases where railway intersects with highway=* with with access=no or private and overriding foot tag.
