[talk-au] Junctions (to name or not to name)

[Rick Peterson]

Hi Folks,

Quick question about roundabouts. (junction=roundabout)

Originally, I didn't name roundabout junctions, but when I validate my 
work in JOSM, it identifies them as 'Unnamed Ways' in the warnings section.

I've tried naming a few using the name of the primary road that connects 
with the junction. The validation warnings disappear, however, the 
rendered work looks messy as the streets AND roundabouts get named at 
close zooms.

See Mile End Road at Rouse Hill NSW at 
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-33.68113&lon=150.92323&zoom=17&layers=B000FTF 
for an example.

I've had a look at the wiki information on junctions, however there 
doesn't seem to be any information about whether to name or not to name 
the junctions ( see 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:junction%3Droundabout )

Any advice or comments ?

Rick
