How else are people to properly identify which side the new lane is being added to? NOO!

I think transition would've been better too. You mean, the *proposal* on the wiki (that has mainly been edited by one person, and that has not even been voted on) states that "transit" is the key. So, in fact now would be a *perfect* time to change the key to something that 1) makes better sense in vernacular English and 2) won't have a chance to be confused with transit in the sense of "public transit" or "mass transit". (note that https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Transit even redirects to https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Public_transport).
Hmm, I imagined the tag had been in some kind of widespread use, but according to https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys it has some 700 uses, of which I estimate about 50-ish are from me (all in the Netherlands). It sees heavy use in Belgium, and almost all other use seems to be in Europe.
It wouldn't be hard to convert them all to a transition:lanes. Also, the wiki pages on lanes need a cleanup and especially an uncluttering. Tijmen _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
