We have many traffic calming strips in form of ever wider painted lines across 1 lane of a bi-directional way, only in the driving direction while coming up to a crossing/junction requiring attention. Screenshot in poor quality below with 2 in sequence approaching a T-crossing where heavy lorries exit.
What are these tagged as, being noise-less, no rumble, just a visual cue something is up ahead?
thanks
I donât tag them so far, but one idea could be âtraffic_signâ, as thatâs what they are. Maybe also âroad_markingâ? https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/road_marking#values
In parsing road_markings came across the useful gore_chevron which could be made a tag part of the painted traffic_islands, also with bountiful presence and then further down 23 cases of gore_shevron, a typo, copy paste event presumed.to be. Nothing though hinting at a useful one for these âslow down, pay attentionâ strips.
traffic_calming=yes | Tags | OpenStreetMap Taginfo at a minimum; you could come up with a unique value â maybe whatever the trade name is for the device, if you can find it? Or traffic_calming=silent_strips?

is traffic calming also used for signs such as âdrive carefullyâ of âslow downâ, which arenât prescriptive but rather recommendations?
Was thinking of something verbose along the line of moderate_speed_advisory. We see signs on shared foot/cycle ways along the line, no specific speed.
Yet to encounter an operator in action painting one of these traverse(?) series of increasing width lines.
On a map it would be best to show the dangerous point itself and not the warning sign that says: âdangerous point ahead.â The use of a map is the ability to look ahead.
Still here, new roundabout, the smaller one of two, as entrance to trunk_links. The large one has none but the standard give way, roundabout direction and destination signs, this tight one 2x2 coming from west and east. All thereâs to tag is tagged, just not the âopen your eyes and pay attentionâ oddly not the usual pre-announcement signs that a roundabout is coming up and to be ready to give way.
There must be a type of road_marking to slap on there but nothing on the relevant âhighly experimentalâ wiki page The last one in the list with ârectangleâ did inspire the âmotorvehicle_alert_rectangleâ. 6 of these now bookmarked for tagging, many hundreds still to do in a 75 km radius.
