Hello,

I'm hijacking this thread to ask about the change_lanes tag.
There seem to be three ways of mapping the change_lanes in circulation, that can't all be correct.

1) I've always been using the JOSM Lanes and Road Attributes mappaint style. From it's help page <https://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Styles/Lane_and_Road_Attributes>, click change: -> then to proposal <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/change> There it lists as possible values: yes|no|not_right|not_left|only_right|only_left
Where not_left is equivalent to only_right

2) on the lane_features wiki page: <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Josm/styles/lane_features#change:lanes>
reccommended tags change:lanes=yes|to_left|no|to_right

3) in Kevin Kenny's email I see right_only. I don't know where he got this from

The use of this tag is VERY low as of yet (only 67) according to taginfo, but it's extremely useful. So I suppose the best way is to change all information to only one of those 3 options. My proposal is to use 1), for the simple reason that the plugin already gives warnings if you use style 2 so it has tooling around it. So someone has to change the <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Josm/styles/lane_features#turn:lanes> page to the right options.

With regards,
Tijmen / IIVQ
