usually at junctions there are no solid lines, at the most there will be interrupted lines or no lines at all (or when there are solid lines it would indeed be forbidden to turn at the junction). > I have driven in a lot of European countries and have noticed that there > are gaps in solid lines for every driveway.

Example crossing out of town where you can't turn: http://maps.google.de/maps?hl=de&ll=41.349801,13.75293&spn=0.013482,0.027788&t=m&z=16&layer=c&cbll=41.349827,13.753092&panoid=0dBb2Nn9tjfBufqt37g6xw&cbp=12,94.59,,0,23.63 > This proposal would also need routers to understand the law in different > countries. yes, at least if you wanted to handle also the stranger cases like the UK which allows turning on single solid lines. In Germany for instance I am not aware of any difference between a single and a double solid line (I think usually you get double lines close to situations where one of the double lines gets dashed, hence allowing crossing the double line only when coming from this side). cheers, Martin
