I'm trying to work out a way through the maze, and produce an answer which will be acceptable to all parties. I'm trying to understand Darrin's arguments, but when I have tried to summarise my understanding, he has rejected my summary. I was thinking of another node descriptor, which was "highway=roundabout", as distinct from the "junction=roundabout" which is applied to a loop way. There is certainly evidence of a variety of mappers using a node descriptor for roundabouts in Australia, and my understanding was that Darrin's biggest bugbear was mini_roundabout. _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
