The amount of delay varies according to the traffic, particularly in cases where one cross-street is not required to stop at the intersection. I have encountered intersections where, at rush hour, you effectively can't make a left turn from the side street, or go straight across, because the traffic on the main road is continuous and the drivers don't choose to yield to the side-street traffic.

I'd very much like to add a large penalty for making a left turn at a particular intersection exiting my development, but not add much of a penalty for making a left at a different intersection, or making a right at either of them. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
