I believe there is an address locallity which can be used in this case.
Why city though? Isn't posttown more correct, not every address contains the
name of city. Mine for example, Shrewsbury. It is a large town, but not a city.

In general, the world considers a city to be a "very large town". In the
UK (and possibly other places) the concept of "city" has specific
connotations, namely the granting of Letters Patent by the Crown (a
cathedral is not a prerequisite, nor is it a guarantee of city status!)

But in the US the administrative municipality for an address may be
different than the city that is used for mailing to that address, which is
regulated by the US Post Office (and I think tied to zip code). For
example, residences in villages or towns may have a larger city/town nearby

The problems with this tag are the same with most tags. The history
goes something like:
1) The original creator has a very specific real-world object in mind:
painted roundabout patterns on intersections in their local area
2) Other people in the local area recognise this real-world concept

Hi,
Because of the (again) discussion concerning mini-roundabouts, I'm looking for
photos of the following:
* (real) mini-roundabouts
* small roundabouts (not mini-roundabouts)
* turning circles, no matter what shape
* "turning circles" with a non-traversable island in the middle
* anything that
