When you have 3 lanes and the turn lanes are through|through;slight_right|slight_right, ie. middle lane can be used for both directions. So you go from a three lane two 2-lanes. Does simple lane counting still works in this case ? The exit on the Ring around Antwerp (coming form the North) towards A12 and E19 is now like that. While knowing the right lane is the most important thing, I guess that GPS makers do not want to go "back" to a system where they cannot display destinations if they currently have a system with it. So I believe that when OSM wants to compete, we need to add that data. After adding a few hundreds of turn:lanes, it becomes quite readable :-) regards m
