Re-working Roundabouts

Post by neko22
Hi,
I have a suggestion for reworking how roundabouts are created and edited. Probably mentioned before, but I thought I'd stick it here just in case.
--------------------------------

The current way is to select a junction, and click Turn Into Roundabout. You choose the size, and click done, and it creates the roads in a circular shape, splitting by roads that overlap the roundabout.

I am proposing that when the roundabout is created, the roundabout's roads retain a sense of belonging to the roundabout object, so that the roundabout is its own object, rather than individual roads. Thus, you could later move / resize the roundabout without having to select each road and alter the geometry, and have the non-roundabout roads re-join up to the roundabout after it is moved.

Oh, and the ability to create oval shaped roundabouts would be good, because not every roundabout is a perfect circle...

Regards,
- Matt

I second this - I'm finding lots of roundabouts where they are either the wrong size on the map, or in the wrong place. In either case I am yet to find a simple way to adjust them. I am finding that deleting the roundabout and starting again can be the easiest, but still time consuming risky that you miss a special road setup when recreating.

If you create a uservoice entry I'll happily vote for it.
