[Talk-us] exit_to vs destination

[Martijn van Exel]

You're probably right.

Looking at the wiki for destination=, particularly the examples here
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:destination#Examples - it would
be interesting to add control cities to the main motorway ways - has
anyone already done this? I found a copy of the AASHTO list of control
cities by Interstate here
http://www.modot.org/business/manuals/Sign_Manual/APPENDIX%20B.pdf -
not sure if it's the most recent.

Back on topic -
Nobody feel strongly about exit_to versus destination for exits? I am
inclined to go with exit_to for simplicity and because it's so much
more widely used in the US..
