Drawing circular arrows in tikz to represent turns in a T-intersection

I think you'd benefit from loading the arrows.meta and bending libraries. UPDATE: I could not resist creating a style that allows one to put a bent arrow at an arbitrary position of the path.

I kept the original solutions for comparison. And yes, one could make the arcs in the above picture really arcs of a circle or an ellipse. You only need the path constructions from what follows.

The code looks lengthy (OK, it is lengthy ;-) but it is just a copy & paste of one building block. One could write a macro for that...

EDIT: Corrected the direction of the left arcs.

COMMENT: Yes, I know about the decoration.markings library and its ability to put arrows (or whatever) where I want on the path. The reason I am was not using that here is that I don't didn't know how to bend these arrows according to the underlying path, so I just had to draw two paths.

UPDATE: I just realized that two of the arcs were not as you want them. I used the opportunity to write a semi-intelligent macro that does the circular and elliptical arcs. (It is semi-intelligent, so of course you will be able to fool it, but at least in these examples it does its job.) I can't use it for the previously incorrect arcs since they would cross the B node, which looks ugly IMHO.

edit: added missing arrows head, better positioning of them


I think that there is not a command to draw circle arrows. At least I didn't find it in the manual. But if you draw an edge between two point with the right condition it should be a circular arc (the big ones are already circular). In the following I partially solved your problem, the rest is up to you since I'm a bit sleepy.

I solved the problem of the arrow in the middle. It's sufficient inserting another node in the middle. You should only add another mid-node in the big arcs.

For what concern the circular arc, mine are not exactly circular, but if you shift a bit the _mid_node_ (you should shift it by a lenght equal to the radius of the circle with which the nodes are represented).
