*If we move traffic_calming to the "Other highway features"category we will probably see more ways segmented into highway=residentialand highway=traffic_calming bits, and I think that would be a step back.My conclusion so far: the wiki is missleading and most mappers have learnedto use traffic_calming=* without highway=traffic_calming, so I suggest to add asimilar hint for deprecated tagging to the traffic_calming page*
I reckon I wouldn't have a problem with doing that. I have always used only a node for the traffic_calming devices I've encountered but I can see how splitting a way to make it a table or chicane might be problematical. But then how would one tag a traffic_calming method that is not a node but a section of the highway with some non-zero length?
