For small ones, node seems just fine. However, for those few larger minis
it would be nice to be able to satisfy two goal:
- Represent the actual roundabout looking largish shape a small car driver
will encounter when driving into one identically to a normal roundabout
with obstacle (or nearly identically). ...And give proper roundabout
driving guidance too.
- Somehow indicate the mini_roundabout connectivities for large vehicle
case.
Both single node and physical way approaches require some preprocessing
in small car or large vehicle case. It seems a tradeoff on which use
case the preprocessing burden is placed. ...I think that the extra burden
that the single node approach puts for the small car preprocessing is not
justified, considering how easily the large vehicle preprocessing can be
realized if there would be circular ways with either traversible tag or
mini_roundabout area connected to it.
I repeat, I'm talking about a _large_ mini_roundabout here, not some
2m one people seem to talk in the other mails of this thread which has
"larger" in the subject :-).
