Talk:Tag:junction=circular

Oneway=yes implicit or not?

From the how to map section: Add oneway=yes for clarity. As this is a new value for the junction key, many data consumers might not be able to assume the oneway property implicitly.

From the important considerations section: Further, generally rotaries and circular junctions have one-way traffic and should have the tag oneway=yes, however a circular junction with bi-directional traffic can be a valid junction to be tagged with junction=circular.

I'm very much in favor of not having a default oneway property, but to make it the same to any other normal road: oneway=no implied, unless specified otherwise. There are plenty of "roundabouts" with a (partially) bi-directional cycleway around it in The Netherlands for instance. See for instance also: https://josm.openstreetmap.de/ticket/21367

Agree. I'd be in favour of explicit oneway tagging and not assume anything. --Polarbear w (talk) 17:39, 26 September 2021 (UTC)

Adjusted the wiki page to make more clear that it can be oneway=yes or oneway=no -- Famlam (talk)

Node or way?

Currently, the page specifies this tag should be used only on ways, but Tag:highway=mini_roundabout suggests using it with either a way or a node. Which one is right? --O-andras (talk) 12:18, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

I don't see the problem. Where is it? Kovposch (talk) 08:22, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

I don't see it now... I was looking at the big table under "Possible misinterpretations", so I guess I misunderstood the "(...) junction=circular with a <node symbol> or (...)". --O-andras (talk) 08:45, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
