What is the default for raised=
Found no topic tagged with this word, what is default, is there an implied on this, like sidewalk, traffic_island (which actually has an =raised as one of the items on the picklist). Traffic_calming=painted_island is one other, directly on the road surface to name another. So far with an abundance of assurance, have been doing raised=yes, raised=no wherever, whenever.
One more sample is a street where the sidewalk was actually painted on the road, no physical barrier to alert drivers on the cellphone that they've strayed.strayed as element of the highway. Added the raised=no tag to be sure.
