Looks like the fixme was added to the end node of that road when it was
first created, and then the person who added the loop probably didn't
realise it was there so it remained.
If you look at the node history and the changeset where it was created,
you can see the loop being added and the fixme staying on the node:

In case you're not aware, you can use tools like Keepright to locate
fixme tags, and then try to fix the problem or even remove the tag if
you're sure there's no issue:

Personally, for things that need a survey I prefer using OSM notes as
they are accessible on osm.org so you don't need a QA tool to check if
there's something worth surveying in your area when out and about.

I see that, on a new housing estate near me, there are a number of
"Fix Me" tags on highway=residential, which I would like to fix.
The tags all say, "noexit? turning_circle? stub?"
These are all streets that link to only one other highway, mostly
highway=tertiary (i.e. they are cul de sacs / dead ends).
Where the highway=residential is mapped as a single line, I can see
that it would be sensible to mark whether there is a turning circle,
or turning loop, at the end and, if there is no exit by vehicle,
bicycle, or on foot, to mark it as "noexit".
However, where there is a turning loop, which is already mapped as a
looped highway, I don't understand what the "FixMe" is asking for.
See, for example https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/5111774622
Acording to
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dturning_loop,
"Draw a closed highway=* way around the traffic island and connect it
to the main road, giving it the same name. If traffic is required to
flow in a particular direction around the traffic island, add
oneway=yes. This method is preferred for large turning circles,
because navigation applications decide whether the user is on- or
off-route based on their distance from the roadway. This method also
makes it possible to accurately map features inside the loop, such as
parking spaces, trees, or a flagpole.
If a turning loop has been mapped as a way, do not remap it as a
simple node, as that would remove detail from the map."
Are these "FixMe"s generated automatically? Can I just delete the
"FixMe" in these cases?
I would be grateful for any advice.
Peter
