Hi,

Thks i see it, so seems that no decision is made upon lane marking, so 
i'll go putting the lane numbers, so here in my country can be ways that 
have 3 lanes in one direction and only 2 in the ither direction.

Where is the correct place to discuse / contribute ideas for taging the 
maps?

Regards.
