[Tagging] improve tagging of traffic_calming

[Gerd Petermann]

So you think that every node tagged traffic_calming=* should

additionally be tagged with highway=traffic_calming?

That would mean  we have >99% traffic_calming nodes with

incorrect tagging.

No. That change would not be okay.

AFAIK the correct tagging scenario is

highway=traffic_calming
traffic_calming=bump (or chicane, or other types as stated in the wiki http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:traffic_calming)

This is a hierarchical system of tagging that works well in other situations. I suppose you could make an argument for using only the last one but that needs a full discussion first.

Hi all,

I've noticed that a few (940) traffic_calmings are mapped as
highway=traffic_calming , most of them also have the tag
traffic_calming=*, but ~ 10% did not.

The vast majority (> 212000) of the nodes tagged traffic_calming=* is not
also tagged highway=traffic_calming. I looked at the wiki and thought that
it
is simply a bit missleading as traffic_calming appears on the highway side

So I started to cleanup, found a few nodes which where highway=crossing
instead of traffic_calming, found a few nodes not (yet) connected to roads
and finally decided to do a few larger changes today.

After the last change one of the bigger changes was commented by user chilly
as an undiscussed mechanical edit, see
http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/35457641

As stated in the changeset comment I hope that the change is okay,
and I am sorry that I start this discussion now instead of asking first.

Please let me know what you think about the edit itself and whether or not
I should revert all changes related to this tag.

Gerd
