Downlocked to L3, but I have always been wondering what is the significance of drawing an LG in this kind of highway exit.

All three lanes can go straight [I don’t need to tell the driver there are three straight lanes in total, he can see it and he knows it], and the exit lane is as short as 10 metres (almost invisible) [Without LG, i.e. with only the traditional “Exit Left” icon, he will be keeping the left-most lane to get out of the highway anyway]

If the left lane is not an exit-only lane (i.e. can also continue on the highway), then perhaps the traditional single “Exit Left” icon is enough? Because:

  1. the exiting person knows his exit is on the left side, so he knows he has to be on left lane.
  2. the continue person can be on any lanes to continue, we don’t need to explicitly tell him there are three lanes and he can use all three.

This contributes to > 80% of the exits, if we can agree an LG is not needed, it can save us a lot of effort drawing LG on every single exits on every highway/main road.
