[Tagging] How to tag traffic islands ?

[Gerd Petermann]

Hi all,


It seems that many mappers associate words like "island" or "traffic island"

with an area on a road that is enclosed by a white line and

maybe hatched lines ("schraffiert")

Also often used: traffic_calming=*

Not so often: "keep clear"


I don't even remember how to call them in German,

my understanding is that you are not allowed to cross them

with a vehicle and that they should not be used for parking.


Do we have a good tag for them? I also still don't understand

when use the crossing=island tag.
