Routers ignore this tag anyway. And QA tools are only checking the case where the last node is not connected (and nearby another highway). > Will a normal contributor understand what he's dealing with if he sees > noexit on what he splits? > I think most of the contributors should not care about this tag. Only people using QA tools supporting the tag for false positive would really use it (like OSMI, routing view). But if the average contributor use it in their cul-de-sac, why not. He's just informing next contributors that "it's not an incompleted highway but really a cul-de-sac". > In fact, is it "the way" or is it "the highway"?
