Should 'no cars lane' be counted as Exit

[leocylau]

Sometimes it is good to use other navigator to compare the no. of exit so I will turn on Nokia map and Google navigator at the same time.

Hi Simon, I saw you have changed some road type around there. Could you change these too to keep consistency?
Just realised that we got some curly streets too

[leocylau]

About one a day at the moment - probably the same person doing it too!

The problem is we don't know who placed the UR and can't PM him.

I would prefer it be counted. It probably doesnt matter much if you know the area, but if you have never used the roundabout before your attention is probably going to be on counting / matching big exits in general, not taking into account whether an exit is suitable for your type of transport or not.

It's a pity Waze does not have a taxi mode.

Leo is there any need to have 2 roads connected here? The one marked no car's does not seem to serve any purpose and there is no physical barrier here

Hi Leo

I was going to do the whole road, but my road layer stopped working (AGAIN). The reason I added it their is that it is effectively a 2 carriageway road with a central barrier, so clearly has 2 directions.

[thelight1]

Wasnt really for instructions where I agree, it makes no difference. It was solely for traffic alerts which I will often use to change my own route.

If the use of N/S/E/W is based on the length of the road, at what length do they start and stop being used?

^^^What he said

[valerieb]

I agree Leo, I don't think it's necessary to have any direction at all on short sections of road such as this (sorry!)

[valerieb]

Well, yes it does, but it's only a short road, and I'm not sure that adding E and W is really necessary? I agree it's useful on major highways etc. where you may come to a roundabout or junction where the road direction is marked, but otherwise imho it isn't adding a lot of value to instructions, and makes the screen look even more cluttered (plus it's more stuff for tts to say out loud!). Just my opinion though...
