While starting to change a mini_roundabout which wasn't actually a
mini_roundabout, I went a little overboard and this is the result:

It is a 'verhoogd kruispunt', so I tagged all the elevated ways with:

traffic_calming=table

And the places where the bumps are 'felt' with:

traffic_calming=bump

This is double marking, the end of the roadsegment of a table is by nature always a "bump".
But the real bump for traffic_calming is in fact something else
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:traffic_calming%3Dbump
So, traffic_calming=bump is not realy applicable here.


I added the cycleways and cycleway tags and then I had to change the
rcn and rwn relations

The rcn had this, which I have been removing everywhere, since it's a
Dutch word:

nettype=knoop

I left these tags:
rit=xxxxx

Although I don't know what they stand for and where they come from.
Should they stay? Are they useful for anyone? I don't think rit is an
English term and there are maybe 100-150 out of 5000 routes which have
this tag.

It could be translated as lap
Maybe it is a route number.
Did you try to contact the user that inserted the tagr?
If it is something personal,  it should be deleted.


Concerning the nettype. While editing a bit in Germany (and in the
border area Hohes Venn), my script ran in trouble when trying to
detect new rcn routes, because the Germans use rcn for many different
kinds of cycle routes. In the mean time I found that normally I can
distinguish between the cycle node networks because we don't use ref
tags and they do on the other networks.
While 'complaining' about the mess, they suggested I add an additional
tag to the cycle node network rcn relations, since those were the
exception worldwide. So, does it make sense to add something like:

network:type = numbered_nodes
nettype = numbered_nodes

to our rcn networks?

I would propose to add on these relation for  node networks something like
numbered_nodes=yes
or simply
nodes=yes


Sorry for rambling on and on... those are questions that I've been
wondering about for a while and which all surfaced now during the
editing of a simple junction...
