I don't really see the value of a generic noexit=yes tag - it can and should be inferred from the network. But finding dead ends can be valuable for tagging the countless turning circles / cul-de-sacs that exist in post-war subdivisions in the US - like John mentioned. These were not tagged as such and I always do so whenever I edit in as part of TIGER cleanup in such areas. -- martijn van exel geospatial omnivore 1109 1st ave #2 salt lake city, ut 84103 801-550-5815 http://oegeo.wordpress.com _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
