[Tagging] How to tag traffic islands ?

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

I only consider an island if it elevated and tag it as
traffic_calming=island. If it's painted on, I do not map it as
traffic_calming=island. In fact, I personally do not map it at all.

Can you give an example of this? "Keep clear" for me has no relation to
"traffic island"

This seems to me very obvious: if the pdeestrian crossing, eg. a zebra
crossing is "protected" by one two traffic islands. Example with two
islands:

I have tagged it as
highway=crossing
crossing=island
