I've seen a lot of the ones that Ian points out. These seem to fit any definition of mini-roundabout based on size. In contrast to the European use of these as alternatives to stops/yields, it seems that these are put in as traffic calming features. I don't prefer tag proliferation, but the difference between mountability of the two types could be noted either with a different tag traffic_calming=mini_roundabout or an addition to the highway=mini_roundabout tag with traffic_calming=yes. _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
