Multi lane exit ramps
Hi folks,
With UAE's love of super-wide highways, it is not unusual to have a 6(+) lane road split into 2 roads, half continuing, and half leading to a junction. At what point does this require a 'keep left' command?
In this example, Heading South on Al Khamila St, at the Al Asayel Street junction, the map shows the main road continues straight, and a slip road exits right. In reality, the 6 lane road splits, with 3 lanes continuing on the overpass, and 3 lanes dropping down to the junction.
(This is half the road - not really a slip)

For example, a user travelling South, through this junction in lane 2 will be given no instruction, but will have to realise what is happening, and move over to lane 4 in advance.
In my opinion, a 'keep left / right' instruction is required to avoid confusion. (Of course, at minor junctions where only 1 or 2 lanes exit (and sometimes one splits), no instruction would be necessary.
I'd be interested in hearing peoples' thoughts on this.
If I've duplicated another thread, or posted in the wrong place, I am sorry. I have searched, but I am new to the forums, so may have got it wrong.
