Imho the solid_line is broken - The turn happens on a node and not on
a line. So interpreting this is difficult and in case there is a
sidestreet beeing allowed to turn you split up the way in 3 parts around
the node of the junction? Thats broken ...

There are streets where this might make sense - but using the solid_line
as indication for turning is not. All IMHO.
