[Tagging] mapping large memorial objects that roads pass through.

[John Willis]

Thanks to Kevin & Volker for the suggestions. 

I tagged the object as suggested. 

FYI, similar to pedestrian area, the road ignores the layer=* tag and OSM/carto renders it badly. 

I imagine things like this lead to a lot of tagging for the renderer.
