As I understand it: Only one node at the end of a road (without a loop) should be tagged with highway=turning_circle
This tag usually renders as a circular blob (for want of a better word) on the end of the road. I don't think the tag is intended for applying to lots of nodes around a looped way. No extra tagging beyond highway=residential should be needed in this case, except perhaps for oneway=yes if applicable. highway=turning_circle is for roads that have a circular open area at the end for turning. (Not a looped end or a mini roundabout) Regards, Dave --- On Sun, 16/11/08, David Newman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: From: David Newman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [OSM-newbies] Culdesacs To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Date: Sunday, 16 November, 2008, 5:31 AM > turning_circle and mini_roundabout apply to nodes only, not ways : > > http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dturning_circle > http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dmini_roundabout > Hmmm, that's interesting. When I first did this I selected the nodes with a bounding box but I had actually selected the way. when I set the way to highway=turning_circle it turned the circular way into a shaded polygon which I thought was pretty cool as it seemed to visually represent what I was trying to do. I have gone back and turned the circular way into a residential, which removed the shaded polygon and instead set the nodes to turning_circle which put rectangles around the selected nodes. I don't know what that means but if this is the correct way to do it I will continue to do so from now on. -Dave _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies
