Hi! During the voting three people stated concerns about center turn
lanes being unsupported by the proposed tagging scheme. I agree that
those lanes are vital for rounting, but also I consider them irrelevant
to the proposal. A quote from the FAQ: "Turn lanes tags deal with the
one-way part of the road (and is extendable to either parts with
:forward/:backward suffixes), and center lane is a part of the whole
road, not any side of it."
Also, Rickmastfan67 was kind enough to provide me with a taginfo link
that shows there IS already a tag used to mark center turn lanes.
center_turn_lane=yes/no is used all across US, and there are more that
400 uses of it. This tag doesn't directly affect the turn lanes
proposal, but can be included into a description for navigation software
authors.
I've discussed the proposal recently with Martin Vonwald (and some
other people, including a Skobbler employee), and as a result there is a
FAQ page, which answers most of the recurring questions. I hope it will
help you understand the proposal, and maybe start using it :)
