Hi<br>
Could anyone give me an explanation for this line from <a
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:junction=roundabout">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:junction=roundabout</a><br>
<br>
"Each road has to be connected with the roundabout in a separate
node—that is, between these nodes a segment of the roundabout is
required."<br>
<br>
I see no requirement for a separate segment:<br>
<ul>
<li>When a entering road shares a node with a roundabout then the
router knows it's entered that roundabout by reading the tags on
the circular way.</li>
<li>Whilst on that node, the router checks to see if there are any
suitable exits. If there are, then it leaves the roundabout.</li>
<li>If not, it continues going around until it finds an
appropriate exit.</li>
</ul>
<br>
Also, I'm more than a little annoyed at the inference it fails
geometrically "because you did not trace the roundabout within its
most external lane". <br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
