Urine deflectors were built in urban context in corners or other areas where it was necessary to prevent people (presumable mostly men) relieving themselves. They are amongst the earliest examples of hostile architecture, the attempt to prevent certain behaviours in public spaces. They can be built of stone, concrete or metal.
How to map
Ideally, draw the whole area taken up by the footprint of the urine deflector in a corner or draw a line along the wall. If that's not possible, set a node and use man_made=urine_deflector.
You can add an image from wikimedia, if there is one available (wikimedia_commons=*).
