First way:
Second way:
Second one, 'cause it’s closer to an 90° angle (from left road to main road).
I prefer 90° angles if you can turn to left and to right.
In this case second one seems clearly better based on aerial - you would go there straight when going from left to right
rather than turning left and then turning right
(the same right to left)
also, hello on your first post - and thanks for asking!
I would’ve gone with #1 (because the two side streets don’t form an actual intersection), but I like your reasoning better. Do routers actually say “turn left, proceed for 1 meter, turn right” if I were to map this as #1?
I was thinking about what highway= line represents (it is not an exact midpoint of a road), without directly thinking about router behavior.
