My suggestion is to use man_made=planter for these, wherever they appear. If they are used as barriers on a road, add also barrier=planter or barrier=yes and necessary access-tags to a node on the way. (this is a variant on the barrier=block. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:barrier%3Dblock) If they are used for traffic calming to form a choker or chicane, be sure to tag that part of the road with traffic_calming=choker or chicane. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:traffic_calming _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
