Traffic calming consists of engineering and other measures put in place on roads for slowing down or reducing motor-vehicle traffic as well as to improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists.
traffic_calming=* is used to tag various specific devices to achieve this, but some of methods used such as barrier=bollard blocking transit traffic are not tagged with this key. Some, like proper urban planning are subjective and not mapped at all in OpenStreetMap.
