Re: [Tagging] Center turning lanes: centre_turn_lane=yes method vs. lanes:both_ways method

I've always used lanes=5 centre_turn_lane=yes as a shortcut that implies lanes=5 lanes:forward=2 lanes:both_ways=1 lanes:backward=2 turn:lanes:both_ways=left It's just a way to reduce five tags to two in a common, special-case situation. Lanes can be any odd number greate

I like the centre_turn_lane=yes method. But there is also the lanes= x|x|x method as shown on http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Lanes Assume I have a 5-lane road with two normal lanes in each direction and a centre-turn lane in the middle (right-hand traffic). The lane directions are

I switched from using the centre_turn_lane tag to using the turn:lanes tagging when I discovered the turn lanes plugin for JOSM. Between that plugin and the change:lanes plugin I think it is much easier and clearer to tag lanes, including center turn lanes, that it was not too long ago. Only

I personally think that 'centre_turn_lane=yes' is a good tag. It cuts down on a ton of extra tags where that might be confusing to new and experienced users. Plus, this way you shouldn't need to add an extra 'lane' to the lane count, making routers think there
