A mini roundabout is not just about size, low central island, and number of exits but also about legislation. A Polish roundabout could look identical to a UK mini roundabout yet have legal restrictions that match an "ordinary" Polish roundabout. That's fine. It doesn't have to just walk like a duck and quack like a duck, it also has to have a sign round its neck saying "I'm a duck." > I think the best suggestion in this case would be to update the > documentation, particularly in translated pages, clarifying that the tag is > intended for the formal mini-roundabout design as found in the UK, Ireland, > France etc., and not for any flat roundabout. > > I disagree with such approach for Poland. > Now I'm confused. Richard suggested updating the documentation to explain that a mini roundabout is more than just physical characteristics but also about traffic regulations: that in certain countries things that look physically like mini roundabouts are merely small ordinary roundabouts; and that only in certain countries (which excludes Poland) are things that look like mini roundabouts actually mini roundabouts. Why would you disagree with that? -- Paul
