Streetcomplete: Sidewalk quests should not be shown in roundabouts

[waldyrious]

The new sidewalk quest introduced in v10 shows for all ways, including roundabouts. I'd say this is a case (there may be others) where that quest does not make sense, so it shouldn't even be shown at all.

I'd say this is a case

Why? Can you link more specific situation and why it makes no sense to ask this? For example in Poland roundabouts may have sidewalks or not (see for example https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=50.08983&mlon=19.90345#map=19/50.08983/19.90345 for roundabout with a sidewalk).

Ok, I see what you mean. Still, I think only the outside of the roundabout would be a candidate to have a sidewalk, right? Not only from a semantic perspective, but also since the interface for inputting the information in the app is a diagram depicting a linear section of the roundabout curve, which may confuse people about which side is the inside and which is the outside.

I know roundabouts, where the sidewalk is actually _inside_ of it. (don't know who invented this design, but possibly for big roundabouts it makes sense)

Right, this one is likely to be confusing and clearly a problem.

[waldyrious]

Ok, so if neither inside nor outside a roundabout should be omitted from the sidewalk quest, I guess this issue can be closed.

Alternatively, it could be reused to track a better interface for such "two-sided" quests when applied to very tight curves (not only roundabouts, but also loop ramps, etc.)

What do you guys think?

@matkoniecz Not that confusing, though. I saw this in a similar situation already. The form shows the orientation of the road at the quest pin. If you know that, it is clear. Also, the compass in that form is a help, in case of doubt.
