A small station, may not have a platform, trains may only stop on request.
Distinction between halt and station
The distinction between railway=halt and railway=station might differ from country to country. A halt is usually smaller than a station.
- In North America, flag (or request) stops are typically mapped as halts.
- In German-speaking countries and Hungary, stations without points ("switches") where only passenger trains stop are tagged as halt. For more information see the German page.
Halt is an unclear, ambiguous term. To explicitly tag a request stop station, request_stop=yes should be used.[1]
How to map
Add a node in the middle of the railway halt and tag it with railway=halt and name=*. The node does not have to be on a railway=rail line.
Railway types
Besides railway=rail you can also use this tag on railway=subway, railway=monorail and railway=light_rail systems that are heavier rail than trams.
For a tram stops on railway=tram and railway=light_rail systems the tag railway=tram_stop should be used.
