That's probably as good as we have, for now.  I'd go with
tactile_paving=contrasted, if appropriate.  But it doesn't cover
priority.  Until I took a close look at the rules today, I didn't
realize that if it's at a junction then pedestrians crossing
have priority over vehicles turning into the junction (but
presumably not over vehicles turning out of the junction).
No, I'm not a dangerous driver who doesn't know the rules,
I'm a dangerous pedestrian.

That priority over vehicles turning into the junction
makes life easier at an otherwise difficult crossing
near me.  Maybe.  The crossing goes across a
one-way street, so I don't have to worry about cars
turning out of the junction (there aren't any).  But
the layout of the one way system means cars
coming from one direction are forced to turn into
it, so are they really turning into it or just keeping
in lane?  https://goo.gl/maps/JCpDmKtsyZcYSkVm7
