The layer of rubber and rust on the jersey barrier, wall, or road surface
where vehicles go out of control with any frequency is is quite verifiable.
(I inadvertently, kinetically verified one recently ... using OSM maps for
my accident report.) We just need an agreed cutoff# for # skidmarks per
quarter-mile or kilometer to make it fully objective and ground verifiable
-- just not via signage.

But I would agree that it's still sufficiently specialized to be more
appropriate in a mash-up add-on layer, not in main OSM data set.

If how to make a mash-up add-on layer dataset and map isn't in the FAQ yet,
it should be -- if it's too much harder to figure out the right thing, we
inadvertently encourage the wrong.
