### Problem
GraphHopper doesn't just output directions, it also outputs details (referred
to as "route hints" or "path details" in the documentation) about things like
dangerous sections.
What are your thoughts on showing these on the osm.org website, in addition to
the directions?
### Description
Examples of "route hints" include
- Route includes potentially dangerous trunk roads or worse
- Get off the bike and push
- Route includes steep sections
- Route includes steps
- Route includes fords
- Route crosses a country border
- Route includes ferries
- Route has tolls
- Route with potential access restrictions
These could be shown in an info box above the directions.
Why? For mappers, it's useful feedback that their tags are being looked at by
data consumers. For non-mappers, I think strategically it's important for OSM
that osm.org shows off the cool things that can be done with OSM data, to
attract them to contribute to OSM. When people who aren't really familiar with
OSM are shown nonsensical or dangerous routes, I am worried it will turn them
off OSM because they don't understand that "under the hood" there's a lot more
going on.
