The wiki does not posit that they are Christian, on the contrary:
There is a subtag religion and the text says: "Frequently found along the

I don't think religious_symbol=* would be the best option for wayside cross.
Here in Brazil, they often are found in curves that had automotive
accidents in the past, and could indeed be said to be an historic feature,
so I think this tag is good enough as it is.
Like Volker said, the tag for ways
Hello Guys,
currently I’m tagging the country around my place (farmland, farmyards,
meadow and so on). Farmlands are typically surrounded or seperated by small
areas/borders of several vegetations (trees bushes, at least in Germany),
called Field Borders (or Feldrain in German, more Informations:

While I agree that wayside_shrine + religion=* is fine
Field border literally means the border of a field, so I fear the tag meaning
is not as clear as it should.

Hi,
+1 to "wayside_shrine" + "religion=*".
It could cover "Jizou" small buddhist shrines, and "Koushinto" small
shrines.
And I think those small shrine is covered "wayside_shrine" tag, too.
So if possible, wiki descriptions are to be modified to fit more broader
definition.
Shinto gate is a bit c
Hello,
I used to believe that, by definition, all roundabouts have free
transit and right of way along the circle, and that anything that
didn't display that property isn't a roundabout (just a circle). But
reading the wiki once again, I'm a little in doubt. The wiki mentions
that this is a rounda

I don't know about the UK, but [
Roundabouts like this sometimes (in Britain) have "part time traffic
lights". So, some times of day it is a true roundabout, and some times
of day it is a circle of road with traffic signals! I don't know the
one you linked, to but it's possible that is what is going on here.

Good question.
I think this is because originally it was, as many others in the UK, a true
roundabout with priority in the ring. The traffic signals were added later
to avoid blocking up the (ex-)roundabouts. I have seen many roundabouts in
the UK go through these phases: New "clean" roundabout; a
Coming from the US where any form of roundabout is rare, I would consider
any circular intersection a roundabout. Some have signals, some don't have
signals. I know that some people in the US distinguish between the two,
where a 'roundabout' has no signals and a 'traffic circle' does have
signals.
I think we should call this a roundabout because it's round, and the
general public calls it a roundabout whatever the rules and laws say. If
some roundabouts are not "real" roundabouts, we can tag that with subtags,
roundabout=unofficial or something. If we want to tag right of way, we tag
that wi
A signal-controlled roundabout reverts to being a normal roundabout if
the traffic signals are not working (assuming it is also signed as a
roundabout), so the presence/absence of the traffic signals cannot be a
criterion for it being a roundabout or not.
I expect most countries will have a tr

priority for the inner traffic is the main
"circular" is not a requirement, can have any shape (usually they are indeed
circular)

Great, so my assumptions were mostly correct, except in the case of
traffic lights inside the roundabout and on its entrances.
I did find some roundabouts that are not perfectly circular in a small
town here in Brazil. They resemble the figure of the number 8 (the
mapping of the area is still quit
Could we define boundary=urban then?
