There was a proposal for street furniture a long time ago:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Street_Furniture
I don't think we want to go there, i.e., introduce a new
street_furniture main key. Using the same main key for very different
things just because they all happen to be put into the public spaces of
urban environments does not really make sense.
