Curves can already be detected by routers (they are in the data),
pedestrian crossing (with and without traffic lights) should be mapped
explicitly (in the 1 road, 2 sidewalks model it would be a way from 1
sidewalk to the other). Realtime traffic information (time of day,
amount of traffic) is a general issue that one day we might be able to
solve, given enough real time data input.
