<pre wrap="">Hi,
I recently passed through an intersection in a particularly dodgy part
of town that actually had warning signs up, warning motorists that
said intersection is a hotspot for "smash and grab" robberies. (If
anyone is interested, it's on Google Streetview too:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://goo.gl/maps/kYkdMR9Kmpk">https://goo.gl/maps/kYkdMR9Kmpk</a>)
I'd like to add this information to OSM -- certainly, it could be used
by routing software to avoid the area unless there was no other
sensible alternative. However, I'm not sure how best to tag it. The
only thing that I've found is the proposed "hazard" tag
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/hazard">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/hazard</a>), but as
it seems to be in a permanent draft state (since 2009), I'm not sure
if this is the best solution.

Of course yes it would be the best solution to <a
href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/hazard">resurrect
that draft</a>.<br>
Presently, OSM takes little care for road security, especially for
children.<br>
And it's not a good reason to neglect the existing kitchen because
there are no eggs.<br>
I have mapped a number of 30km/h zones.<br>
I was literally abashed that, among all the zones mapped in Belgium,
Germany, France and Netherlands, not a single one indicated a <a
href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Road_signs_in_Belgium#school_zone">school
zone</a> hazard.<br>
I stopped my mapping because I don't like to redo everything
correctly later.<a

The problem, as with most traffic signs, is that they are not
located where the problem is and that, as I see them used, they do
not even indicate the direction to where it is.<br>
As well as duplicating other information albeit the word "duplicate"
is spoken as an OSM sin.<br>
GSM software is perfectly able to draw most traffic signs on the
screen without an added element.<br>
