Link road junctions

[danieldegroot2]

There seem to be numerous highway=*_link + junction(=roundabout). Many are simple single-road roundabouts (no physically separated turns or lanes) with the roundabout circle segments tagged as _link.

These should likely be highway=* (not link road), as these usually carry the classification of the main (through)road (links create 'gaps' in the main road). Junctions in link roads are possible, but much less common.

Ex. (I personally only changed an example in a regular roundabout, not near a motorway.)

Of course unless the local community has developed some consensus.

Fyi turbo roundabouts (also some of the lesser turbo ones) are being tagged roundabout=turbo in the Netherlands (and Poland).

Overpass: basic query is like this way["highway"~"link$"]["junction"="roundabout"];
