<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:black">I wanted to ask your opinion on a topic related to links. According to OSM Wiki<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:black"><a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Highway_link"><span style="color:windowtext">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Highway_link</span></a><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:black">in
case of a turning lane for changing direction from a highway to another road, we should map it as a link just when it is physically delimited by something. Here is an example of what I am talking about 45.3756361, -73.3680429 (all along this highway, Boulevard
Saint-Luc,<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>you can find some more examples as such). Talking to a member of the community, PierZen, he pinpointed that the maxspeed on this primary highway is 90km/h and that it is important to signalize the possibility
of making a turn and therefore to decrease the speed. </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif">However, there is already the widely used [1] turn:lanes tag that can be used to achieve the same. We would prefer to use that.</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:black">So, the question is….do you think we should map the turning lanes as links or not?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
