<div dir="ltr">Fixing where the motorway_link branches out is also one of the things I'm working on fixing with this project.<div><br>But as to why...so that a navigation app can provide proper lane guidance. I selected this particular example because it's very simple, without other details to clutter up the discussion. But in large cities, such as Atlanta where we have a lot of freeway exits just around a curve and you can't see them in time, it can be incredibly important to know what lane you need to be in well ahead of time--especially in periods of heavy traffic, were you can't get into the correct lane at the last minute.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Aug 25, 2016 at 1:42 PM, Toby Murray <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:toby.murray@gmail.com" target="_blank">toby.murray@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><span class="">On Thu, Aug 25, 2016 at 12:09 PM, Jack Burke <<a href="mailto:burkejf3@gmail.com">burkejf3@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br>

</span>Why does this example even need any special lane tagging? I would map<br>
this as lanes=3 on the motorway and then draw the motorway_link with a<br>
lanes=1 tag out to right in front of where that picture is. Right now<br>
the motorway_link doesn't branch off of the main way until WAY past<br>
where the white solid line starts and where you must commit to the<br>
exit.<br>
