A node that is at the end of a way can have the tag highway=turning_circle.
This means that there is room for a car to turn at the end of that way.
However, in my village there are several different kinds of these:
* Just a small dent in the side of the street where a car can drive in and
then reverse out again to turn the car.
* A larger one where a car can usually drive around the perimeter without
ever backing up if the turning radius of the car is not too bad.
* At one place there is a really large one where a whole bus can turn, which
is actually the purpose of it.
I'd like to be able to show these three different turning facilities (the
first one isn't a circle) on the map. One way would be to add a size tag:
highway=turning_circle
size=small | medium | large
with small or medium being the default. What do you think?
