Besides the way segmentation, which I don't care about at all (because it more accurately reflects the realities of the road) - does tagging a way segment with traffic_calming=* present a problem? I realize then I can't use highway=traffic_calming on the way (because it is already highway=second

I think what Gerd is saying is that if we deprecate the use of highway=traffic_calming and instead tag each way segment with just traffic_calming=* (or simply use a node in those case where the structure of the device is short), we would eliminate the issue where, for example, a secondary highway c
