Well, at least on my part, the confusion was because I was thinking in terms of the no exit sign, which is always posted at the entrance to a cul-de-sac, not at the end of it. On April 5, 2014 8:00:27 PM CDT, Dave Swarthout wrote: > I think the Wiki is abundantly clear on the usage of this tag

I think the Wiki is abundantly clear on the usage of this tag. I says, among other things, that it is to be used on a node, not on a way, and that "This tag is mainly useful where a road or path ends close to another way but where it isn't possible to get through due to a barrier or other obstruc

I always thought the meaning of noexit=yes was very clear. Obviously there is some confusion I was not aware of. If a highway ends with no way to continue, the final node is tagged with noexit=yes. I only use it if I am sure there is no way forward from the end of the particular way. As someone who

I was thinking the same thing, but couldn't put it into words properly. If 40% of noexit tags are on ways, this is meaningful, not some sort of accident. FWIW I also prefer to put the tag on the way, I don't care about the gratification that it gets rendered with a nifty icon in JOSM when put on a
