end node of that road when it was first created, and then the
person who added the loop probably didn't realise it was there
so it remained. <br>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">If you look at the node history and
the changeset where it was created, you can see the loop being

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Personally, for things that need a
survey I prefer using OSM notes as they are accessible on osm.org
so you don't need a QA tool to check if there's something worth
surveying in your area when out and about.<br>

<div>"Draw a closed highway=* way around the traffic island
and connect it to the main road, giving it the same name.
If traffic is required to flow in a particular direction
around the traffic island, add oneway=yes. This method is
preferred for large turning circles, because navigation
applications decide whether the user is on- or off-route
based on their distance from the roadway. This method also
makes it possible to accurately map features inside the
loop, such as parking spaces, trees, or a flagpole.</div>
