The key =* is used to specify whether a crossing has a refuge island (also known as pedestrian island).
This key supersedes the former tag crossing=island (see the rationale).
Tagging
The =* key can be used on a crossing node highway=crossing (or alternatively on a pedestrian crossing way highway=footway + footway=crossing). Possible values are yes and no. It is recommended to further specify the type of the crossing using the crossing=* key.
highway=residential with highway=footway + footway=crossing is tagged highway=crossing + crossing=uncontrolled + =yesAlternatives
Do not tag a crossing with =yes if the crossing is explicitly mapped as multiple separate crossings; i.e., where the traffic island is not part of the footway=crossing way. This is common with larger intersections with wide traffic islands where the traffic lane in each direction is mapped separately. For clarity, the stretches of highway=footway that form part of the traffic island can be tagged with footway=traffic_island. Additionally, the footway=crossing sections can optionally be tagged with =no. This may be useful in case you are performing a survey of all crossings in an area and wish to explicitly mark these as having separate (or no) refuge islands.

traffic_calming=island– A traffic island that is not built as a refuge at crossings, but to calm traffic.footway=traffic_island– Used by some mappers for the part of the highway=footway that is on the traffic island, instead of using crossing:island=yes (at places where sidewalks and crossings are mapped as ways).footway=crossingandcrossing=*- Used to map crossings in detail, e.g. for mapping accessibility, etc.
