I don't think that's particularly harmful.  I'm not against extending the 
criteria to published laws, particularly when those laws are documented in an 
official source.

Actually, it’s not just relatively harmless “noise”. Because such no_u_turn 
restrictions are indistinguishable from e.g. this one: 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/8182004 (which I just created), that 
actually has a sign “on the ground”:

 (excuse the streetview link, don’t have another photo of it right now, but I’m 
driving past it almost every day and am well aware of it).

Seems like tagging “noise” to me. I’d expect a router to use the roundabout 
itself because exiting, making a U turn and then re-entering the roundabout 
will be longer and thus slower. Since the no U turn relations are there to make 
routing work and a reasonable router won’t need them, I’d say they are “noise”. 
If I were to go in to fix something on that intersection, I’d probably remove 
the no U turn restriction(s). But I don’t think I’d go out of my way to find 
them.

 

Cheers!

I’ve noticed that someone from the Microsoft Open Map team is very busy adding 
turn restrictions all over the place (  
<https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/shawat94/> 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/shawat94/ ).

 

In my local neighbourhood, I noticed that he added no_u_turn restrictions to 
all the nodes where a road into in/out of a roundabout is splitting (because of 
physical separation). Which basically amounts to 4 no_u_turn restrictions for 
every single roundabout.

 

e.g. here:

 <https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/57747093> 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/57747093

 <https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/57674063> 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/57674063

 

There is no actual no_u_turn sign in any of these locations, it’s just (mostly) 
physically a bad idea to attempt a u-turn here.

 

Just a few weeks ago I discussed exactly this in #osm and the conclusion was 
that it was neither necessary nor desirable to do this.

 

I made a comment about that to the first of the two changesets linked above, 
but haven’t gotten a reply.

 

So, what is the general opinion about this here? Should these turn restrictions 
be created or not?

 

Cheers,

Thorsten
