An island painted on a road.
There is currently no consensus[1] as to whether its area representation should be mapped as area:highway=traffic_island, area:highway=emergency or area:highway=buffer. Some users argue, that this tag should not be used, as it doesn't impose any traffic-calming - drivers can go straight through a painted island.
