Hey Martijn, It looks correct to me - using the destination:street allows users to know if the ramp is branching onto the specified street name vs. heading toward a street name - examples are located here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Exit_Info#Road_name_Example
Mappers have been using in the US too: http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/ln4 Here is an example way: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/11502773#map=19/39.21853/-76.65894 You can see how it is used in the directions: https://www.openstreetmap.org/directions?engine=mapzen_car&route=39.22079%2C-76.65959%3B39.22139%2C-76.65428 Regards, Duane On Thu, Jan 19, 2017 at 8:00 PM, Martijn van Exel <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > The Telenav mapping team noticed quite a few destination:street tags on > (mostly) motorway_link off-ramps in Canada.
