[talk-au] Marking up round'a'bouts

[Brent Easton]

Hi Kim,

The easy way is to have all the ways intersect in a single node and tag that node with

highway=mini_roundabout

This is generally recommended for roundabouts that are contained within the normal width of the road.

The hard way is to draw a small circle way of at least four nodes and tag it as

highway=<appropriate highway tag, e.g. primary or primary_link>
junction=roundabout

and have the different ways having off various nodes of the roundabout. You need to use these types for substantial roundabouts, especially involving dual carriageways.

Regards,
Brent.
