From: "Ed Loach" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > While Mapnik shows it correctly, the Osmarender layer is having > problems rendering the roundabout here:
Hi Ed! I had great fun with the roundabouts around here which were all laid out pretty much the same. I couldn't find any documentation which showed how to do it properly either... Anyway, I can see now that your problem's sorted (well, JOSM says it is, anyway), but leading on from this, I have a question for everybody.... I found somewhere a reference which said that roundabouts should have the same road type as the most major road at the junction and not as the other feeder roads. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find this any more, so I am now wondering whether that was just a figment of my imagination! Anyway, In the example Ed gave, I would therefore have set the roundabout to be highway=trunk (and not highway=primary as it is at the moment) and I would have set the roundabout to the West of it likewise. But thinking about it..... If the main road is a highway=motorway, then the roundabout shouldn't be highway=motorway, because (in the majority of cases), it isn't a motorway. Perhaps, therefore, the roundabout should be highway=motorway_link. Or should it be highway=X (where X is the type of the most major road directly connecting to it (i.e. not with a _link). Am I being overly pedantic, or is there a /proper/ way of doing this?
