Road shield blocks highway=mini_roundabout

[Prince-Kassad]

Example illustrating the problem:

https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/49.15015/7.77923&layers=N

highway=mini_roundabout should have priority over everything else since it's a road feature, yet the road shield can block it.

Yes, mini roundabouts are rendered as low priority blocking POIs.

A possible solution would be to rendering this in a non-blocking fashion immediately after the roads layers. Would need to be tested for feasibility though.

Another option - which i think i'd kind of favor - would be to render them like highway=turning_circle, maybe with a minor design variation to indicate the difference in tagging - see

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dmini_roundabout

Physically these are very similar and the difference largely comes from context - which is visible in the map.

Re: "render them like highway=turning_circle, maybe with a minor design variation to indicate the difference in tagging"

I agree with this idea. Physically they are nearly identical to turning circles, so including a minor design variation seems not strictly necessary, though if it's possible to render a small circular gray dot in the center that could look nice.
