That said, I went off & entered a 1/2 built roundabout this week - it's almost done, & will be the 'mount point' for a huge amount of building work soon. I figured it won't get anyone lost if they find a 2-exit roundabout that almost exists :) I quite like the highway=construction:xxx idea, but perhaps using it implies a commitment for monitoring it? Sort of like FIXME tags.. It might also be useful for routing software, along the lines of 'best avoided' at the junctions.
