[Accessibility] How to map parts of tactile paving and other feature?

[Annemieke Vogel]

Hi Shu and others,

I marked the nodes of crossings with traffic signals like this:

highway = traffic_signals
crossing = island (if there is an island in the middle of the road)
traffic_signals:sound = yes
tactile_paving = yes

And other crossings, with only tactile paving, but no other markings like this:

highway = crossing
crossing = unmarked
tactile_paving = yes

Is this correct? Or should I, in the first example, use:

highway = crossing
crossing = traffic_signals; island
traffic_signal:sound = yes
tactile_paving = yes

I will start adding foot-ways right away... Grave (NL) is not such a
big town, and I know it well enough to do most of them from memory and
field-check the rest.

Cheers,
Annemieke Vogel
