My understanding is (was?) that the lane tag indicated how many lanes there were in each direction, so '1' would indicate a road which was 2 lanes, 1 in each direction. The definitive answer is rather blank on the matter: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php?title=Key:lanes&action=edit > >> >>It would also require some fine tuning of which lane merged back into the >>normal flow, ie. did the 1st or 2nd lane have to merge? >> > > Do we really care? It might help with routing instructions such as 'keep right' prior to a lane suddenly being coned off (found a few of these in France). It's all about the attention to detail you know... ;-) Cheers, Mungewell. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
