[Tagging] [Talk-us] Freeway exit tagging

[Jack Burke]

Tagging maxspeed is purely for a router.  So are turn restrictions.

As for turn:lanes meant for complex intersections....the examples in the
wiki show very simple uses.  I can't see anything in it, or the discussion
page, indicating that it is only for complex intersections.  Certainly
there is a lot of talk about how to use it with some complex roads, but
overall it appears to be intended for exactly this type of situation
(namely, indicating lane guidance for exits).
