Hello. How do I tag correct a Hamburger roundabout/throughabout/cut-through (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roundabout#Hamburger_roundabout.2Fthroughabout.2Fcut-through for a description).
My thoughts: The OSM wiki describes a roundabout at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:junction=roundabout with these points: – where the traffic goes around a non-traversable island (or a void in case of elevated roads) in the middle – the traffic on the roundabout has right of way. Both conditions are not true for hamburger roundabouts/throughabouts. So I would say that a hamburger roundabout – in spite of its name – is not a roundabout, but a traffic circle (see http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:junction=roundabout#Possible_misinterpretations for details). Consequently they are not tagged with junction=roundabout, but like normal roads or carriageways (and using turn restrictions where appropriate). Am I right? Lukas Sommer
