you can freely switch lanes in that circle segment.
I think I understand what you're saying but for clarity could you
provide an example.
Only if you calculate the angle in an euclidian XY-plane for each one
and then sort them in clockwise
or counterclockwise fassion.
The geometry is irrelevant. Entrances/exits can be determined because
they don't contain a junction=roundabout tag.
Assuming you can find out what side of the road people drive on in
this part of your route.
Any person writing a routing/navigation shouldn't be doing it if they
can't determine that. And anyway it's irrelevant to my point - it's the
same in either direction.
Something that can be avoided altogether with oneway segments making
up the roundabout.
All ways with junction=roundabout are one way.

To be doubly clear, this is an example of a road entering a roundabout &
sharing a node with it:

A nice example of 2 shared nodes making up 1 exit.

No it wasn't. It was perfectly clear as I posted the
'junction=roundabout ' page. Much of the following is
incoherent to me. The rest is irrelevant to my point.
Irrelevant to your point but not to mine.
The purpose of this map is much more then just routing for motorized
vehicles.
Representing the real road as accurate as possible is a major point here.
Or do you proclaim that e.g. accurate graphical rendering of a map is
not important for anyone?
That pedestian crossings on the legs of a roundabout are not important
for anyone?
That the roundabout-segment a postbox is at is not important for anyone?
Also for vehicle routing, calculating the metrics as preicsely as
possible is a major
quality factor in good routing. So if using a roundabout is much
slower itself and
slows you down in front of (decellerating) and behind the roundabout
(accelerating)
compared to a simple right-turn, then this is an imporant thing to
model correctly.
If a construction site or traffic jam blocks one exit, your model
would block the entire roundabout
instead of just that exist. Causing the driver to be routed way around
that intersection while for
his/her particular route it poses not much of an issue.

That has a different geometry as the center of that one
is traversable.

a) I don't see a node as anything you "are on" at any
time. Only segments. At most nodes are considered for
calculating the metric of making certain turns between
segments. b) Routing algorithms that don't know or deal
with roundabouts would still work perfectly well with a
circle of segments and give proper instructions. c) In
reality this is a circle of road-segments. So segments
represent reality more closely. So for the purpose of
the map as a representation of real world geometry, this
is simply a much better approximation. This is not only
for routing but also for map-rendering to scale the size
of the roundabout correctly. (There are vast differences
in possible sizes.) d) These segments have a
significantly different metric then an intersection
(much slower traffic in the roundabout then the
surrounding roads). They have an angle to the entering
and exiting road that can be used in a metric because
you need to slow down to make such hard turns, limiting
your average speed in the segments before and after the
roundabout (lookahead). There may be traffic jams or
construction sites blocking part of a roundabout but
still allowing certain turns to be made. This can not be
described with a simple node. On 2018-02-14 15:40, Dave

Hi Could anyone give me an explanation for this line
from
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:junction=roundabout
"Each road has to be connected with the roundabout
in a separate node—that is, between these nodes a
segment of the roundabout is required." I see no
requirement for a separate segment: * When a
entering road shares a node with a roundabout then
the router knows it's entered that roundabout by
reading the tags on the circular way. * Whilst
on that node, the router checks to see if there are
any suitable exits. If there are, then it leaves the
roundabout. * If not, it continues going around
until it finds an appropriate exit. Cheers DaveF
