[Talk-us] Center turn lane mapping

[Tod Fitch]

I switched from using the centre_turn_lane tag to using the turn:lanes tagging when I discovered the turn lanes plugin for JOSM. Between that plugin and the change:lanes plugin I think it is much easier and clearer to tag lanes, including center turn lanes, that it was not too long ago.

Only real complaint I have with the turn lanes plugin is that I prefer to have tag values of the form “left|none|none|right” rather than “left|||right” as it is easier for a human to read. Or at least easier for me to read. You need to check a box that does not stay checked between editing sessions for it to use “none". And it doesn’t put “none” in all the lanes if there are more than a couple of lanes in the same direction.

Not a new scheme, but using the existing lanes / turn:lanes schema as already implemented by the JOSM plugin, in favor of the centre_turn_lane tag.
