    Yes, I agree.<br>
    That recommendation was introduced yesterday by Pieren [1]. I
    strongly oppose that.<br>
    The wiki is not for documenting Tagging-trends, but for documenting
    best practices. And I would say, that tagging noexit=yes on ways is
    not a best practice.<br>
    In my opinion an acceptable comment in the Wiki about tagging
    noexit=yes on ways would be "In the past this tag was used on ways
    very often (~40%). But because this tagging has several
    disadvantages, you should rather tag noexit=yes on nodes.".<br>

          If it's not useful to use it on ways, then I don't think we
          should recommend it on nodes <i>or ways</i> on the wiki page

                        <div>eeh, what "what end" ? Either the highway
                          line is linked to another highway at both
                          ends, then "noexit" is a tagging mistake. Or

                          highway on both ends and then the "noexit" can
                          be helpful (confirming tha'ts really an

              two normal junctions at each way end but one of them <b>is
                in fact </b>a dead end.<br>
              Why would we tag noexit on the way and request the
              beholder to zoom in each end to determine which is dead if
              we can tag the information clearly on the end node?  What
              about T shaped ways where the top way contains 2 dead
              ends? "gotcha, there were 2"?<br>
              Now, instead of a vertical bar,  what about a small (or
              larger) mesh like <i>rue Grétry</i>: are we going to tag
              as dead ends all the segments of the mesh up to the normal
              junction even if they're not directly related with a dead
              end?  And, BTW, are we speaking (in Subject:) of ways or
              of roads?  Must we apply noexit=yes to both ways of the
              same road when we split one?  How would the brave
              contributor splitting a way cope with that if he hasn't
              got the faintest notion of what noexit is (no blame on
              him!)?<br>
              These are [probably a part of] the questions that raise
              and should be settled and that no one advocating noexit on
              ways mentioned.<br>
              Frankly, noexit on nodes (as designed) is much more
              logical and simple (than on ways, of course).<br>
