Plus what does "inner" mean on a oneway road? I think it's crucial that lane 1 is either left or right depending uppon what is decided but that it stays the same accross the world. It'll be unusable otherwise.
I propose 1 is left because we start to write from the left. It's completly arbitrary, but that way at least it follows a logic that stays the same accross the channel :) And since the tags are in latin characters, it's just to be consistent, not to ignore people writing in arabic or hebrew (if people still take offense, I did my best not to ;) Yann Le 19 août 09 à 16:01, Steve Hill a écrit : >>> What's left to be clarified is how lanes are numbered. >> >> I'd suggest to be the inner one to be 1, ascending the more you're >> going to the border > > The police tend to number them with lane 1 being closest to the > footway (i.e. the left lane in the UK, the right lane over much of > the rest of the world).
