Bear and Turn Instruction in Same Intersection

Post by pumrum
I have a UR suggesting that a left departure from the road be given "Turn Left" for the hard left, and "Bear Left" for the soft left. There is no straight, and only a hard right.

We are looking at traveling west on Church St. Currently if you are to proceed "soft left" onto Old Middletown Road, the client instructs you to "continue onto Old Middletown Road":

If you are to proceed hard left onto S middletown road, it says "turn left".
The attachment turn.png is no longer available
If I soften the departure angle from Church onto Old Middletown from 45* to 25*, will that produce a "bear left" instruction?

Is it even possible to have a bear left and turn left at the same junction? The style guide seems to suggest that 45* should exhibit a "turn left" instruction, but it also seems that in the presence of an existing "turn left", it may force the softer "turn left" or "bear left" into a "continue" instruction. Thoughts?

Yes, it should. See here.

Coming west on Church road, you should get no turn instruction for Old Middletown Rd because there is no straighter (as in smaller angle of deflection) option, so the navigation engine simply perceives it as going straight through.

Thanks. So if there was a straight option and everything else was exactly the same, would Old Middletown then become a "bear left"? Or would I still have to soften that departure angle to between 20-30*? Or would the engine still report OMR as "continue" even if there was a straight option, because there is already a hard left and hard right?
