[Tagging] How to tag traffic islands ?

[Gerd Petermann]

I fear I've mixed two very different probems, so I'll open another thread

for my problems with the tagging of junctions/crossings.

This seems to be the only instance of highway=keep_clear in OSM (according to taginfo).
This is a common horizontal road sign in the UK. It indicates tht vehicles should not anter the cross-hatched area if the traffic situation does not allow them to leave the area.
Strange that it is only used once in the data base. Maybe our UK friends use another tag for these.

The node also is in such a marked area,

The tag is on the junctio of the two ways

reg. crossing=island: ok, your example shows

a simple case where the island is in the middle.

What if there are multiple islands?

If there are multple islands, I presume there are several roads that are crossed by a footway. In this case each crossing is tagged according to how it's constructed. If each is protected by island, than each is tagged with crossing=island.
Do you have an example? (I can't recall one at the moment)
