Excuse my ignorance. Junction=roundabout is the right tag. I was just keeping the load down on the wiki server. :) Richard On Fri, Nov 20, 2009 at 11:52 AM, G Zamboni gd.zamb...@tiscali.it wrote: I agree that noname=yes is not a good solution, but I don't understand why roundabout=yes...

You seem a bit unclear. Do you mean name as in name=The Cyril Smith Roundabout or highway=trunk etc? I was referring to whether the name= tag is required. Thanks for the answers, the consensus is that it is not required for roundabouts with no name. If the former, not all have a

Not sure. It's a guess. Changing the highway category to road might disable the check in KeepRight. highway=road is like leaving an implied FIXME=yes tag, according to the wiki. I'd prefer the nonname=yes workaround, if any. I mentioned KeepRight, but it turns out that KeepRight and the

Please don't take the following as me arguing with you. I'm just trying to understand. No problem - it's a useful discussion and a hard question. I think the bottom line is that one has to understand the actual legal/use distinctions made by the experts, and then figure out how much of

Here in Brisbane, we have a 'private way' going from the motorway out to the airport. It is several km long, divided multilane road that looks like a motorway, but is all on airport owned land. It is open to the public, and you can get booked by the police for traffic offences. However, because
