I like the idea of marking this, but may I suggest traffic_island or
pedestrian_refuge instead? Does this mean any pedestrian refuge in the
road, or just those with some other crossing stuff like traffic signals
or zebra striping?
I'd love to be able to re-use

Yeah, he's free to make use of his shortcuts on his own rendering

Fair enough; I missed that because I didn't read below your signoff
(which happened to be at the break in my mailreader). So, OK, there's
another 60 beyond what I found in tagwatch. Who wants to bet they're
all in the UK, and those 60 were added since tagwatch was updated on 12
