I don't think this is true in the Netherlands. Situations like you describe are quite rare in the Netherlands, but I did find one: https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Marconibaan,+Nieuwegein,+The+Netherlands&hl=en&ll=52.02938,5.101267&spn=0.001149,0.004823&sll=51.566277,5.062965&sspn=0.002574,0.004823&oq=marconibaan&t=h&hnear=Marconibaan,+Nieuwegein,+The+Netherlands&z=18&layer=c&cbll=52.029299,5.10157&panoid=3G1tWOtoUdO_1hUBl5deXw&cbp=11,219.58,,0,2.4 I would expect that cyclists are not allowed to turn left on this crossing at all, and I don't think they would be allowed to use the main road here. I'm also not sure why you think it is like you describe in Germany. It certainly is not explicitly written like that in the law. Could you point me to an example of such a crossing in Germany? Perhaps the answer depends on the meaning of 'leading into the same direction' in the convention: does making a turn qualifies as going in a different direction, or does it just refer to forward and backward? -- Matthijs _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
