well, the handful of roundabouts im thinking about are 12-20 meters across. so that would be a draw in a way for the roundabout by hand and link in the connecting ways then ... right? there are a couple of little roundabouts in the burbs, but they are about 3 meters across + 2 times the single lane width. so i should mark them up as mini roundabouts ... right? regards, Kim -- Operating Systems, Services and Operations Information Technology Services, The University of Adelaide [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
