For an example, this is what I was thinking of for the mini-roundabout despite it having an actual island. http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&hq=&ll=28.550981,-81.373233&spn=0.000828,0.00167&t=h&z=20 And here is a bigger I would consider a full roundabout. http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&hq=&t=h&ll=28.533968,-81.182785&spn=0.001584,0.003339&z=19 I also didn't do a split one-way because the > roundabout isn't really either of the ways but a special junction of the > two ways. > That one I was thinking as more of a hack/workaround than a good suggestion, and I would not even consider it unless one way was definitely predominant. > I also like that with the Garmin maps (though not the OSM-derived Garmin > maps) you will be told which exit (relative to where you enter) to use > for exit. > > My comments are how I've been tagging roundabouts.
