Still get's my vote for two main reasons:

• Instructions should be short and clear - annoys me every time I hear 'on to entry to'
• Instructions should match the signs

I've used the new format already in response to URs in a couple of place where ramps split and have seen no further reports at those junctions, e.g. A35/A326 junction

Is there as well a proposal to show the Ramp Name in a more graphic version. So that it displays the sign next to or over the highway? (like you see in other nav's or nav apps)

I pretty much agree with that but I would like to suggest a differentiation for NI. We tend to get something like 'Blaris off slip city bound' on the traffic reports. So having our ramps named as such with the > for direction would make more sense, sort of anyway. All junctions are numbered and named so 'Junction X whatever off slip something bound' would be nice but I know that wouldn't fit with the rest of the U.K.

Other than that I'm all for it as it makes more sense to the driver.

No it doesn't match what they'd see but then they would only see junction numbers to another road... So meh...

I agree with dropping the 'on to' not just from ramps but from every instruction. It's wasted as people would rarely say it if giving directions. 'To' would be better for driving but the 'arriving on to' is wrong.

if we go for that the word 'for' might be a much better one to use "Exit left for Coventry", "Exit left for em one north"

I know 'to' is more correct for a final destination but natural English would prefer 'for' or 'for the'. I doubt HQ will wish to make a differentiation change so we can have 'to' used if it is a destination name and 'for (the)' if it is another road.

I vote for the original proposal

I have a basic suggestion/request. The voice enunciating struggles with ramp numbers followed by letters, such as 781B. I suspect this could be an easy fix by using a <space> before the letter i.e. 781 B. As a level 1 I'm not able to test this.

As ever, thanks for you hard work behind these proposals.
In principle, I am in complete agreement. I have 3 queries detailed below:

Timbones wrote:Examples:

1. Here's a restricted junction that only goes to (and from) the A659, so ramps can be unnamed. Users won't even get an instruction to enter the A64.

I agree with the naming regime for this example but feel that the ramp should actually be whatever the road type is. In this case the ramps are the A659 from beginning to end so should be type Minor Highway.

Timbones wrote:4. A typical roundabout junction. Exit ramps have two A roads on them as listed on the signs, even though there's also a B road (not signed).

I can't see any road numbers on these ramps

Timbones wrote:6. This motorway split will announce: "Exit left onto Junction 41 to M62" and then either "Keep left onto M62 towards Hull" or "Keep right onto M62 towards Manchester".

If we're trying to keep the instructions as simple as possible would it be better for exit ramps at junctions to say "Exit left Junction 41 to M62" rather than "Exit left onto Junction 41 to M62"? That won't work will it, because the "onto" comes automatically with the "keep left".
