Seems like tagging “noise” to me. I’d expect a router to use the roundabout 
itself because exiting, making a U turn and then re-entering the roundabout 
will be longer and thus slower. Since the no U turn relations are there to make 
routing work and a reasonable router won’t need them, I’d say they are “noise”. 
If I were to go in to fix something on that intersection, I’d probably remove 
the no U turn restriction(s). But I don’t think I’d go out of my way to find 
them.

Cheers!
