Won't the calculated radius depend on the number of points on the way, and the width of the road? If you look closely at the geometry of a curved road in OSM it is of course made up of straight segments with a certain angle between them. A right angle junction might be a 45 steps of 2 degrees each, giving a smooth curve with a certain radius, but it can also be represented by a single node with an angle of 90 degrees. How do you work out the turning radius from that?
