[OSRM-talk] adding way id and direction to output

[Emil Tin]

I think what you're requesting will be covered by the mode flag, which is mostly done: 
https://github.com/DennisOSRM/Project-OSRM/tree/experimental/modes

The idea is that the LUA profile can set the mode for each direction of a way:
https://github.com/DennisOSRM/Project-OSRM/blob/experimental/modes/profiles/testbot.lua#L83

and it wil be passed as part of the returned route.
https://github.com/DennisOSRM/Project-OSRM/blob/experimental/modes/features/testbot/mode.feature#L56


For bikes, 1 could be normal and 2 pushing a bike. For your use, you could always just use 1 for forward and 2 for backward, regardless of way type.
