I was doing some bus routes for the first time recently too, and I think

Which, after thinking about it, would make perfect sense - after all,
the bus driver could go all the way around the roundabout twice before
taking the correct road off and although it may have been a little
silly, nobody could say that he went the wrong route!


I have seen many roundabouts split up so that the bridges can be added properly, so started doing it myself some time ago.

If you are a data user, you could use this algorithm:
For each way that has a junction=roundabout, you find all connected ways that also have that tag and try to make a loop out of them.
