Only for children?

This course is similar to the documented traffic parks, but it's actually for adults to learn how to use a turbo roundabout. You navigate the roundabout using a golf cart instead of a tricycle. The local authorities installed this course in a parking lot before installing the first of several turbo roundabouts in the area. [1] This kind of education is necessary to avoid opening day mishaps. Should it be mapped as amenity=traffic_park or more generally as amenity=driver_training? – Minh Nguyễn 💬 22:18, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

I would consider it as amenity=driver_training but amenity=traffic_park is not obviously wrong. This features form a spectrum ranging from playground with traffic sign flavoring, through places focused on education about traffic with courses directed to children, through places limited to serious courses about traffic targeting children and cases like this one. It is basically similar to "is this waterway a waterway=stream or waterway=river"? Some places will be playgrounds without serious training and targeting children, or 100% clearly targeting children (even if adults can still use it), some will have only serious training targeting adults and focused on passing mandatory exams. Some will be between this clear cases. Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 23:28, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
