If not, maybe we could add a sentence such as Unlike at a roundabout, it is legal to drive to the right or to the left of the obstruction. Also, is it acceptable to simply map the feature as a circular way, rather than use traffic_calming=island? On Tue, May 15, 2012 at 8:53 AM, Anthony

I added highway=turning_loop to the last example and noted, that it is under discussion right now. It would really help a lot if the major renderers would support this, as well as junction=roundabout on a single node. Otherwise I'm afraid the acceptance would be rather low. Thanks! Martin
