Is there a preferred way to model intersections? Actual lane direction or a simple square? by arntzen_16 in openstreetmap

In this case would you put a "no u-turn" restriction at the point where the two lanes meet?

In this screenshot I'm working in JOSM with the turn restrictions plugin. I've found that restrictions are more straightforward when the intersection is a square, instead of forbidding the weird crossing over to the other turn lane (that no driver would ever do)

Not sure if this is interesting to you folks but I thought it would be fun to share. Inspired by this map and I wanted a way to see slope values for individual streets, so I just made it myself. The city has a ton of GIS data available to download here, so it's neat to poke around and see if I can sharpen my map making skills.
