We don't map for the routers ;-)

Well, this sounds like the classical chicken and egg problem.

It's probably a lot better to fix a "somehow broken" turn restriction 
later (if the relation is understandable and has complete information 
this can even be done remotely) than having no turn restriction 
information at all. So the effort isn't really useless.


Anyway, editing a turn restriction and hoping you've understood 
everything right from the wiki page and then trying with gosmore (or 
you're router of choice) to check this later on seems pretty unintuitive 
and not much fun :-(
