<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Johan, I agree with your statement that
"destination" is much more universal than "exit_to". I would
prefer to see "destination" brought into wider use and "exit_to"
deprecated. I only use "destination", which I use very frequently
to help make routing instructions (not: routing calculations -
these have nothing to do with destination tags) more closely
reflect landmarks on the ground (i.e. large signs at junctions).<br>

exit_to is not documented. The destination in my opinion has
same purpose as exit_to, but is a better choice because you
can use it on both outgoing parts of the Y-branch and because
you can use in in conjunction with destination:lanes. Some
