It seems that the Y roads should not be link. link is about a connecting road used when changing roads, and the last few feet entering a rotary, especially when there is no other choice, does not fit that. In particular, if a road wouldn't be tagged differently at a rotary, but happens to be divided (dual carriageway) the last 50m, then it's fine to make two ways, but not to change the way type. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
