From NJDOT:

We are bringing to your attention an error in OpenStreetMap's turn-by-turn directions that has created a potentially unsafe condition for motorists traveling on NJ-3 WB, destined for local roadways west of the NJ-3 / US 46 / Valley Rd. interchange (e.g., Great Notch Rd., Clove Rd., Notch Rd., Rifle Camp Rd., Lackawanna Ave.).

OpenStreetMaps should be directing these motorists to use the Valley Road Exit from NJ-3 WB to access to Great Notch Rd. and points west (Clove Rd., Notch Rd., Rifle Camp Rd., Lackawanna Ave.) Instead, OpenStreetMaps directs these motorists to continue westbound on NJ-3, through the NJ-3/US 46 interchange, merge with US 46 WB traffic and then cross two lanes of traffic to use the US 46 WB exit to Great Notch Rd.

Directing NJ-3 WB motorists to merge onto US 46 and use the exit ramp intended for US 46 WB traffic is resulting in an unsafe weaving condition that will lead to increased motor vehicle crashes.

The Judah Street railway line is tagged as railway=light_rail, usually used for metro lines.
Looking at street view photos however, it very much looks like standard streetcar line that runs on the street and thus should be tagged railway=tram (see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:railway%3Dtram ).

FYI StreetComplete asks its users to add the barrier to railway crossings **except** if the railway is a streetcar line (or disused or abandoned) because barriers on crossings with streetcars are **very** uncommon. Tagging this line as light_rail thus spawns a lot of useless quests in StreetComplete.

Tagging railway crossings on a streetcar line also seems to cause other issues, see https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/117174268

So, is there a good reason here to deviate from the standard?
