As I keep advocating, we should be able to map lanes, but it makes no sense to try and use ways to do this because as Ross keeps pointing out it just looks messy. > Yes, fair enough.

If we had lanes our GPS routing software could tell us which lane we need to be in to turn, unlike most states in Australia when turning right in Melbourne you line up in the far left lane instead of the centre lane, or was that way when I was down that way last, I doubt things have changed since. _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
