[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - Tag:traffic_calming=hillocky

[Volker Schmidt]

These objects need a new tag, not  a sub-tag of traffic_calming=bump (220k
uses), for the simple reason that it has a different effect on the road
users.
I have myself tagged many such sausage-shaped bumps with
traffic_calming=bump and no sub-tag. They slow down every vehicle, but are
not as particularly nasty to cyclists and, probably, motor cyclists as the
ones in the sample pictures.
If you were to create a sub-tag for the new ones, we would need to add a
dìfferent sub-tag to all the existing occurrences of .

Concerning the tagging:
If they are used only in a few countries, then we may want to use the term
used in one of these country, if  there is no British English term
available.
