A pedestrian warning indicates an area where pedestrians share a roadway with motor vehicles.
This is different than hazard=pedestrian_crossing
(), which indicates an area approaching a pedestrian crossing where it is recommended to reduce speed.
This should not be confused with highway=crossing
(), a place where pedestrians cross a roadway.

- Place a node

traffic_sign=hazard
+hazard=pedestrians

of
