Can you give examples? A widened end at the end of a street sounds like the
definition of a turning circle?

One pattern I'm seeing a lot of is a kind of Y or T shape at the end of the
street, where each end of the Y provides room for maybe one car to park in
front of a house. I'm mostly sort of ignoring them, not sure if they justify
a whole extra way or not. A node tag would be nice, but I don't know what to
call it.
