No, it doesn't. * A divider does not imply overtaking restrictions, as has been argued before. In most (all?) countries, you are still allowed to overtake as long as you don't cross the divider. * A divider does not prevent left-turns or u-turns. Reason: a divider is a linear feature, it is applied to ways, and implications on nodes (especially end nodes) are completely undefined. A closer look reveals that dividers at nodes are way more complicated, and we already have an answer to that: turn restrictions. > well, whether something is sensible or not depends on a lot of > parameters (e.g. the amount of other traffic).

No surprise since divider seems to be an abandonded feature.
