Besides the way segmentation, which I don't care about at all (because it more 
accurately reflects the realities of the road) - does tagging a way segment 
with traffic_calming=* present a problem? I realize then I can't use 
highway=traffic_calming on the way (because it is already highway=secondary or 
something), but it is a better representation of the road.

If I have 25-50m of rumble strips, isn't it better to map that 1 time on a way 
segment, instead of having 200 points marking each individual strip? 

There are individual rumble strips (or very small sets) on the motorways to 
warn of tollbooths, but there are very large sections of them on rural roads 
before dangerous curves.

I map where I have visited, and where imagery allows. Thus, I have tried 
mapping (forgotten) rural towns in mountainous Areas that usually have horrible 
imagery. This allows me to have a good idea of how to interpret ambiguous arial 
imagery. I try to map it as detailed as the imagery allows.

For popular places, I micromap objects at tourist locations as much as I can. 

Currently, the only traffic calming devices I have found are rumble strips, 
humps, and pinch points. I have not seen a table yet.
