Solution 1: add an extra tag traffic which can be "yes" for such cameras

Solution 2: new value for man_made: man_made="traffic_surveillance"
for such cameras


Solution 3: Use highway=speed_camera which is already used ~500 times
and also will show up at least in JOSM.

Real solution: use a custom rendering of the map data:
http://osm.vdska.de/

Why would I prefer to use a custom rendering instead of clarifying the
tags, usage and quirks and push for rendering support in Mapnik and
Osmarender?

There is a limit to the amount that you can render on the map. This is what I would call a specialised feature, thus shouldn't be on a general map that Mapnik and Osmarender are. There are many things that the cycle map renders, which Mapnik and Osmarender don't render, for example national cycle routes and bicycle parking.

In the future there will be more specialised maps out there, rather than cramming so much information on the one map, that you can't read or know what all the symbols mean.
