Hi Tobias, Sorry to start this again, but yesterday evening was a little difficult. ;-)
I reread the description and tagging of the example. If I understood you correct - please correct me if not - you are confused because about this: "A ROUND place with a traversable ISLAND". So "round" and "island" are the problem - right? Actually the description just states what can be seen on the photo. A highway=turning_circle still is a widened space of whatever shape and with no or a traversable island. Nothing changed and should be changed in the definition of the tag. Did I understood you correct? If so, I'm thinking about a more clear wording for this example. Also the statement "A turning circle is a widened space on a two-way street without any center island." should be updated to include "fully traversable island". Thanks for your feedback, Martin 2012/5/17 Tobias Johansson <t...@mensa.se>: > On the page you referensed to. in the table with pictures it says "A > round place with a traversable island in the middle, but this is > neither a mini-roundabout nor a roundabout, but instead a turning > circle, which allows large vehicles to turn around.
