Re: [Talk-us] Hi!
Welcome Hans, When I'm unsure how to map something, I follow a process something like this, to find out how other mappers have approached it. Wikipedia might be a good place to find a common name for a particular feature like chicane. If you don't know that it's called a chicane, of that it is for traffic calming, things are a bit harder. From there, I'd look for existing instances of chicane in the database. Taginfo is great for this. Visit http://taginfo.osm.org and enter chicane in the search box. Then select the values tab. Or use this link. http://taginfo.osm.org/search?q=chicane#values from there, we can see that more than 5000 traffic_calming=chicane objects exist in the current database, and variants are much less frequent. Selecting chicane from the traffic_calming line in the table, then the wiki ta, exposes the link to the wiki page for this element http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag%3Atraffic_calming%3Dchicane And that rather confirms that you have found what you are looking for. And all in the context of what other mappers are already using, so we can avoid duplicating effort by 'creating' a new tagging standard.
