Usage

A transition is a location change, often when overhead line connects to underground cables.
For overhead (or underground) lines stopping without connecting to a ligne in another location, you should use termination

This value is only suitable for overhead lines that stop.
For underground cables connecting to a continuous overhead line, see branch.
This value should be used in combination with existing location:transition=yes.

This value can't be combined with itself, cross and straight to describe several situations on the same support level.

The concrete portal should be mapped as a way and the line should connect to it on a power=insulator node. A bay line (inside the substation) connects to the incoming line, it's a transition from the management point of view

Two power circuits split on this tower with an underground transition

A medium voltage overhead power line connects to an underground power cable on a pole. It's a straight connection without situation like branch or split so it's a transition.
