I don't see the point. In mainland Europe (for UK the opposite is true) default right of way is given to those coming from the right hand, except when marked differently. A circular junction simply indicates that the corner must be engaged by going around the center of the intersection, rather than by cutting it as is usual. If, in a circular junction, the roundabout sign (the one with the arrows in a counter-clockwise circle) is present, then the priority is to the left, and we tag this with junction=roundabout (and, of course, the correct verse of the way). So, "regular" roundabouts (i.e., those that are common, with priority to the left) are tagged junction=roundabout, and non-standard right-hand-priority ones are circular ways without the roundabout tag. > Colin Regards, Simone _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
