It's a bit hard to add it because of this paragraph: The argument has been made that geo information (here: lane lengths) should not be encoded in tags. To echo the introduction: This proposal tries to provide good detail while remaining practical and enabling straight-forward editing. The decision to encode lane lengths in tags directly rather than referring to a node on the road as its beginning was made to stay in keeping with those goals. I would already be glad if the plugin allowed me to click on the aerial imagery and that it works out the length automatically. Jo
