So intuitively I'd say that is not an appropriate tag. A mini roundabout is more like a big dot in the middle of the junction, so that all rules of a roundabout are implied on that junction. Example: http://www.cbrd.co.uk/histories/roundabouts/img/mini.jpg Whereas a "normal" roundabout is a more or less circular piece of road. Example: http://adamcopeland.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/roundabout-live-local.jpg .... generally speaking .... For a cul-de-sac I normally use the highway=turning_circle tag on the last node. There are two kinds of cul-de-sacs. This is the sort where I tag the last node of the way with highway=turning_circle: http://binged.it/IwzjHv This is the sort that I loop the road way back on itself: http://binged.it/Imk84z
Good point, the distinction being the island in the middle. I would argue that even these may be tagged as a turning_circle though, as a roundabout implies, to me, that there is a through traffic function with more than one road connecting to it.
