Hi Igor, the tags are great! If all renderers would show them (and in combination with the noexit-tag), we could improve quality and confidence in OSM. After my summer holiday in corfu with different paper maps, which proved to be very inaccurate (missing villages, missing junctions and roads, ...) I lost confidence when I left the big roads. OSM was far from complete, and the todo and noexit- tag would have helped me quite a bit (for my own mapping, and by others). Just think of counting junctions to your next turning off, or following a track which ends somewhere in the olive forests... Kai
