What is the correct way to tag a traffic island way that is part of a cycle and foot crossing? If it was just a pedestrian crossing, I’d tag the way using footway=traffic_island.
I noticed on a cycle and foot crossing that the tag cycleway=traffic_island was used, though I can’t find any mention of it in the wiki. For context, here is an example of such a way Way: 613964060 | OpenStreetMap
If the traffic island is between a pair of toucan or parallel crossings, it’s reasonable to assume that no dismount is required. Adding that without explicit signage requiring (not merely requesting) a dismount would result in cycle routers taking incorrect and less safe routes.
Most of the instances of cycle=traffic_island were probably added my me. I’d create a proposal, but I’m insufficiently masochistic.
Thinking about this more, wouldn’t it make more sense to tag as it footway=traffic_island and add bicycle=yes? After all refuge island are designated for pedestrians
