[Talk-us] Turn restriction dispute

[Apollinaris Schöll]

I looked a bit more and in many jurisdiction it's illegal anyway to go
around a traffic jam  by exiting a freeway and go back direct on the next
onramp. Even more reason to have a restriction. Tested Google maps and it
will make a big detour to avoid this illegal straight on.
