The “direction” tag [1] has different uses that seem disjoint to me.2. To specify direction (clockwise/counterclockwise) around a roundabout (not sure why this is needed as it should be apparent from local laws or specified with a “oneway=yes”).
This tag is used for mini-roundabouts, which are usually mapped as nodes. So you can't tag it with oneway. Yes, maybe it is obvious from local laws, but is it practical for routing software and renderers to figure out what laws apply to a particular roundabout? And there may be a few exceptions, with mini-roundabouts which go in the opposite direction to the local defaults.
Though maybe it should be a more specific tag, eg roundabout:direction _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
