A traffic island is a structure separating at least two lanes of a highway for a short distance. The width of the island is usually under a few meters.
The island doesn't necessarily have to have a right-of-way indicator. For islands at junctions or traffic lights this tag is also appropriate.

How to map
Apply a node at the object, or draw a line on the object.
Rendering
- One possible rendering may be as a small hollow dot in the middle of a node, or a small hollow line in the middle of a way. When creating software, these choices are yours.
- None, currently, by the osm-carto layer.
