The tag proposal is still in draft. Imagic did not like the approval process too much (as far as I understood) for this type of tags and preferred to try out the tag with a small group to see whether it works before going forward with the approval procedure. I can't disagree with this. Too many proposal are blocked by people coming late to the party and you have to repeat all arguments again.
The tag was tried out by some heavy turn:lane taggers in Europe, and I was one of them. regards m On Sun, Jun 12, 2016 at 10:37 AM, Tijmen Stam <mailingli...@iivq.net> wrote: > On 12-06-16 04:11, Brad Neuhauser wrote: >> >> On Sat, Jun 11, 2016 at 6:25 PM, Tijmen Stam <mailingli...@iivq.net >> <mailto:mailingli...@iivq.net>> wrote: >> >> On 2016-06-11 23:11, Tijmen Stam wrote: >> >> On 11-06-16 04:16, James Mast wrote: >> >> I've been using the "turn:lanes:*=none;slight_right" & >> "slight_left;none" tags to indicate which side a new >> lane has been added >> on a highway when going from 1 to 2 lanes (sometimes >> "slight_left;slight_right" if the original lane is >> centered between the >> two new lanes).
