By the way, quoting Wikipedia: "Although the term roundabout is sometimes used for a traffic circle even in the United States, US traffic engineers now make the distinction that in a roundabout entering traffic must always yield to traffic already in the circle, whereas in a traffic circle entering traffic is controlled by Stop signs, or is not formally controlled, although some states are exceptions, notably New York, which follows the "yield" rule although naming them Traffic Circles." However, in OSM terminology, there is no distinction between roundabouts and traffic circles, right? What is this? http://www.yargerengineering.com/articles/images/Traffic-Circle-Woodruff-Place-Indy400.jpg "woodruff place middle drive and cross drive, indianapolis", for those who want to map it. There's a curious sign with an arrow which says "left turn this side of island", but I can't actually figure out what it's talking about. The direction the sign is facing, the direction of the arrow, and the position of the sign, seem to be contradictory. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
