Hmmm, that's interesting.  When I first did this I selected the
nodes with a bounding box but I had actually selected the way.
when I set the way to highway=turning_circle it turned the circular
way into a shaded polygon which I thought was pretty cool as it
seemed to visually represent what I was trying to do.

I have gone back and turned the circular way into a residential,
which removed the shaded polygon and instead set the nodes to
turning_circle which put rectangles around the selected nodes.

I don't know what that means but if this is the correct way to do
it I will continue to do so from now on.
