This issue has come up before and the problem is that it falls through the cracks of OSM's governing bodies. The DWG often handles issues of vandalism or copyright violation, but NE2's edits are neither obvious vandalism, nor direct copyright violations as far as anyone can tell. But this type

Yes, because it also says not to change lanes. Also, it says you can only cross a solid lane line to avoid a hazard. I'm seeing more ways to interpret what's going on as not allowing the ramp-to-ramp movement than those allowing it to the point where you'd pretty much have to be making the
