[OSM-talk] traffic_calming not rendered?

[David Earl]

highway will remain what it was - that just says what kind of road it is.

Whoever inveted the traffic_calming tag intends it to marke the actual 
places where the traffic calming measures are, not that the road is is 
some way "traffic calmed" as a whole.

So highway=unclassified (or whatever)

and then on nodes, traffic_calming=whatever at the appropriate locations.

The fact that someone has suggested how it might be rendered doesn't 
mean it *is* rendered.
