In a scenario where there is a slip road and pedestrian island, which crossing ( Street Crossing 1 or Street Crossing 2 ) should have the crossing:island=yes tag? Or should both of them have it? asked 13 Jul '18, 01:09  MeghanKNg edited 13 Jul '18, 01:11 |

Neither. In your case, for each single crossing, there's no island in the middle of the road. See crossing:island for more info and a visual example of what crossing:island=yes is intended to represent. answered 13 Jul '18, 16:38  alester |
I would set it for none of the crossings. I think the If you want to map the area of the traffic island do it like in this example: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/390896480 (or one of the other tags mentioned on https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:landuse=traffic_island ). answered 13 Jul '18, 21:12  aseerel4c26 ♦ edited 13 Jul '18, 21:13 |
Hi, thanks for your response! Then I guess the "island" in between the two crossings is not considered an island? What would it be called instead?
How about the "island" between https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/1083735850 and https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/1434767726 ?
Or, do you only mean that these are considered islands, as seen on the wiki page: https://nacto.org/wp-content/uploads/gallery/medianrefugeisland_3d/medianrefugeisland_parking_3d_0.jpg
The area between those two nodes is typically referred to as an island, but this is different from the OSM crossing:island. I'm not aware of an OSM tag that can be used to represent an island between two crossings like this. For an example of crossing:island, see here (sorry for the use of Google).
