[Talk-us] Center Turn Lanes/Auxiliary Lanes

[Elliott Plack]

There is a proposed tag for lanes:both_ways=*
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Suffix_both_ways>
that I use for those. The handy JOSM Turn Lanes plugin supports this, which you
can see in the second screencap on their repo
<https://github.com/JOSM/turnlanes-tagging>. Mapbox has done a lot of turn
lane mapping around the US and offer some helpful tips here
<https://www.mapbox.com/blog/turn-lanes-mapping/>
and here <https://www.mapbox.com/blog/la-turn-lanes-map/>.
