Arrows on the road, at least in North America, are typically only installed to indicate relatively unusual lane restrictions, with the typical lane restrictions assumed to be common knowledge. This is where this trips up automation, as machines need to be told about these restrictions in order for them to be able to provide useful feedback from it or lane guidance will be a NP-complete thing for data consumers to deal with. I mean, I get it, don't tag for the data consumer. But on the other hand, don't break the data consumer with stupid tagging schemes, either.
