It used to say "My Direction" and "Other Direction" (or something like "Other") but was recently changed, perhaps based on user requests... :)

I think two buttons is perfect, and should read "My Dir" and "Opposing Dir" but they are not mutually exclusive and can both be pressed in, meaning "both." I realize "Dir" and other words are either not descriptively correct (lane) or are too long (direction), so I am not sure what the button names should be. I like perhaps "My Way" or "Opposite Way" or maybe just an icon with no text? :) But the two buttons which can both be depressed is the best way to solve the "both" issue.

I think they mean the button on the client report tool which give the option to report something in the oncoming carriageway rather than the direction you're travelling. It's a subtle change but would probably make sense!

It is now called 'my lane' and 'other lane'. The later is meant for other direction, but that would not fit in the button, I think that's why they went from 'direction' to 'lane'. Might be confusing indeed...

I would like if they added a third option: both lanes/directions. Often reports like hazard and police trap can affect both directions.
