I today got the following response by joedalton85 (tags a lot of motorways in France):
pour ma part, je prefere mettre les _link dés qu'elle commence ou finnissent pour plusieurs raisons. - Ca permet d'avoir une longueur de voirie plus proche de la réalité - Ca permet d'avoir une occupation du sol plus proche de la réalité - Ca permet au GPS de prevenir " prenez à droite" au bon moment - En france on doit se tourner à droite des que possible Translated (and based on viewing some of joedalton's edits): For my part, I prefer to put the _link where the deceleration lane starts or where the acceleration lane finishes for several reasons. - a long road is closer to reality - It provides a land closer to reality - It allows the GPS to show "turn right" at the right time - In France one must turn to the right when possible.
