[Tagging] About traffic islands

[Paul Johnson]

We have the painted on kind in the US as well, bordered by two orange lines
and filled with a slash hatch in it.  It's treated the same as a raised
island but doesn't provide any physical barriers.

I usually count this as lanes:both_ways=1, access:lanes:both_ways=no
