Not a bad suggestion, but I think the point is that the driver uses reverse gear.
The route should validate just fine, at least in JOSM. The question is whether others will stomp on it, which is precisely what the note=* tag is for. You could add it to the route itself, not just the way, if you think it's a real risk. I still can't imagine why the gear the driver uses would make the slightest difference to the data consumer, but if you really think it's important to use a non-standard role, I would again suggest reverse_gear rather than reverse. The way is not traversed in a reverse direction; it is traversed twice in opposite directions. It would be helpful to post the route here so we can have an idea of what we're discussing :) John On Tue, May 29, 2018 at 1:09 AM, Graeme Fitzpatrick <graemefi...@gmail.com> wrote: > Could you fool the routers / system by inserting an imaginary > mini-roundabout at the end of the cul-de-sac? > > That way the router would think that the bus drives in, goes round the > roundabout, then drives out again. > > Include a note that the roundabout doesn't actually exist, but is only > shown for this reason, so that other mappers don't then keep deleting it! > > Thanks > > Graeme > > On 29 May 2018 at 07:00, Paul Allen <pla16...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> On Mon, May 28, 2018 at 8:38 PM, Jo <winfi...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >>> I have also mapped many routes with loops, lollipops/spoons where the >>> same ways are traversed multiple times.
