Hi:

What happens when a traffic calming is a crossing for pedestrians at the
same time? I have some examples in this avenue of my home town where I
live: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/1080908514

I find it is more important to mark it as a highway=crossing than a
highway=traffic_calming

Cheers,

Rafael.
