I only consider an island if it elevated and tag it as
traffic_calming=island. If it's painted on, I do not map it as
traffic_calming=island. In fact, I personally do not map it at all.> Not so often: "keep clear" > Can you give an example of this? "Keep clear" for me has no relation to "traffic island" > > when use the crossing=island tag. > This seems to me very obvious: if the pdeestrian crossing, eg. a zebra crossing is "protected" by one two traffic islands. Example with two islands: http://www.mapillary.com/map/im/wXtjiaWgo_PrTcE75Iug1A/photo I have tagged it as highway=crossing crossing=island see: http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/713160462/history Volker (Padova, Italy)
