Hello SUMO wiki maintainer,

I have a suggestion regarding the traci leader method of the vehicle class. In 
the wiki it says:

"Returns the id of the leading vehicle and its distance, if the string is 
empty, no leader was found."

It might be helpful to rephrase this to:

"Returns the id of the leading vehicle and its distance. Only vehicles ahead 
on the actual route of the vehicle are taken into consideration. If the string 
is empty, no leader was found."

At least this is what I understand when looking at the getLeaderOnConsecutive 
method of the MSLane class. There the function succLinkSec is used to get the 
next link which is used to find the leading vehicle. And the function only 
traverses the actual route of the vehicle.

At first I thought that this procedure might not be a good approach. But after 
thinking about it I think this solution is ok but it should be stated in the 
wiki. Otherwise you get unexpected results when using e.g. the rerouter.

Have a nice day.
