In Florida, and probably all of the USA, double solid yellow means do not cross TO PASS. You are allowed to cross to turn, such as to make a uturn. To indicate do no cross you need a yellow median island. Not in France Right. I believe most if not all of Europe is different from the USA in

Hi all, Someone on the help site is questioning about a missing u-turn restriction on a roundabout junction with splitter islands ([1] in French). The problem is when you take one roundabout exit and want to come back to the roundabout, a router like OSRM is telling you to immediatly turn left

I think no_left_turn is the best solution. The line on the middle of the street is not a u-turn indicator, it is an overtake indicator which can be tagged with overtaking=no and overtaking=both. Are you sure that the dotted overtake line allows you to make a u-turn? Janko 2012/7/3 Pieren
