[talk-au] New Mapper Sydney Campbelltown Randwick Help: Hi and Help?

[Russell Lang]

I would suggest an additional constraint, that it be possible for a truck
or bus to drive over the roundabout.  I know one small roundabout near a
primary school, where it is common for a bus to put two wheels over the
roundabout.  So mini_roundabout could be used for a small roundabout that
is paved in the middle, but should not be used for one that has a garden
or keep left sign posts in the middle.  This would produce routing
information for larger vehicles that is consistent with the UK.

So where should this be documented?

Anybody got a link to the original discussion?  (I only recently joined
the list)
