L2→L1 Unlock: Leopardstown Rd turn (left turn R113 to N31 W)

Post by foophoof

I'm not entirely sure if this edit is appropriate, but when making the left turn from R113 Leopardstown Rd to N31 W Leopardstown Rd, Waze told me to "keep left". I think "turn left" would have been more appropriate, since you need to get in a separate turn lane (and cross a bike lane to do so), and has a separate light.

I know how to fix the junction so it'll say "turn left" instead, but I just wanted (1) someone more familiar to look over it and advice whether "turn left" or "keep left" makes more sense, and (2) I'm only an L1 editor, so I can't edit this juncton yet, so if it can either be unlocked or if someone L2+ can edit it, that would be nice.

What we usually do in such junctions is a direction to Keep Left at the beginning of that extra segment and then Turn Left at the end of it.

Instead of unlocking it, if you don't mind, I just added the Turn Left bit. What do you think?
Keep Left at the start of the slip lane followed by Turn Left where it meets the N31 W sounds right to me too. I'd be more inclined to make this happen by adjust the junction angle rather than by adjusting the turn prompt though - even though the end result is the same. I'm not a big fan of turn instruction overrides.

Either way, I think the exit road from the South County business park should behave the same - I've adjusted the junction angle to do this.

Yeah, that seems reasonable. Thank you for fixing it and the information!

One of my bunch of scripts shows a pop-up for overrides so I don't mind them much. Except the u-turn ones that we once had at a nasty angle that might have been discouraging for the routing server. But I agree with this, no point adding a TIO if we can achieve the same with an appropriate and rather "invisible" angle.

I changed that to a sharper angle and removed the TIO now.
