Description

At high zoom levels, arrows could be used to represent the lanes of a road, along with the directions of each of those lanes. This would serve to better utilize the lanes=* tag, as well as the change: prefix. This would address #4264, which was closed partly because there was no proposed solution for rendering bus lanes.

Relevent

I'm not sure if is even possible, but just I wanted to share my mockup. I kind of expect this issue to be declined

Mockups for bus lanes, bike lanes, etc would need to be done by someone who knows how to use Inkscape (unlike myself).

turn:lanes are well used by routers in shown in navigation, and I think there are specialised visualisation tools for checking them outside editors.
The mockup shows only examples with 3 arrows in total, and not the typical situation with 4 or more turn lanes per direction.
Thus it would not fit into the typical width we render roads with.

It seems that fundamental changes to how Carto functions would be needed to add this superfluous feature. This is probably even less feasible than #180.
