That's how the JOSM turnlanes plugin helps to tag it. It neatly<br>
describes the length of the turn lanes and where they lead the traffic<br>
to in a bunch of relations. The only thing missing from it is a way to<br>
indicate where exactly the turn lane starts (instead of making an<br>
estimation in meters).<br>

Ah, <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relations/Proposed/turn_lanes" target="_blank">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relations/Proposed/turn_lanes</a> . Would it be possible to modify this to allow a node for the beginning of the lane rather than its length?<br>

directly rather than referring to a node on the road as its beginning
was made to stay in keeping with those goals.<br><br><br>I would already be glad if the plugin allowed me to click on the aerial imagery and that it works out the length automatically.<br><br>Jo<br></div></div><div style="visibility: hidden; left: -5000px; position: absolute; z-index: 9999; padding: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; overflow: hidden; word-wrap: break-word; color: black; font-size: 10px; text-align: left; line-height: 130%;" id="avg_ls_inline_popup">
