I'm looking at a cycle route now.

It has 2 different routes depending on the direction of travel, in this 
case north bound or south bound. It uses divided highways with cycle 
lanes so they need to be different there. Then they need to be different 
getting on and off these divided highways. The they need to be different 
when approaching roundabouts with bifurcated approaches...


Using 2 different routes for the different directions is fine.. but how 
is the direction indicated? In the 'name', the ref, the description? And 
would do the renders cope with that?
