Avoid asking about maxspeed, cyclelanes for junction=roundabout?

[CloCkWeRX]

For roundabouts in Australia; a cycle lane will always end prior to a roundabout; so doesnt make sense to ask for this info. I am fairly sure that would apply to both large and small roundabouts, and would be similar in other countries.

For maxspeed, I dont think it makes sense on roundabouts except for very large scale junctions; and even then its difficult to decide which entry road defines the maxspeed.

Nice catch.
Adding maxspeed=70 to this roundabout seems a bit silly.

Okay, but I don't see why it should not be asked for cycle lanes. Why do cycle lanes end before roundabouts in Australia? Where do the bicycles go then?

For the roundabout that @HolgerJeromin mentioned, there is a cycleway, but mapped separately (so the quest should not show there).

Typical Australian roundabout:

It's generally signed as 'bike lane ends', and in the road rules you can't generally overtake a cyclist/other traffic.

For something like the typical Dutch separated roundabout, it makes sense to ask

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roundabout#Bicycles lists a few other design approaches taken around the world.

So, I'd say, it does make sense to ask for cycleways on a roundabout.

But I could remove the maxspeed question.

Have you addressed maxspeed?

[westnordost]

No. I think asking for that is fine after all. It is very easy to find out if there is a speed limit or not since those are usually posted at intersections and a roundabout is a type of intersection. I.e. when one entry of a roundabout comes from a residential (slow zone), then exactly at that position one would expect a speed limit sign.
