Edits to OSM now give wrong directions in OsmAnd. (lemmy.world)

Recently I made changes to a road trying to prevent OsmAnd from saying "keep left" where I believed it was confusing.

Was hoping turn:lanes and some more accurate turn restrictions on parts of the road would clear this up. But as of now OsmAnd says to turn left to stay on the current road when east bound and the original reason I made the changes is still there.

All the info I've looked up doesn't indicate to me anything I've done wrong and is leaving me confused. Does anyone have any insight into how I can correct this?

I will try these changes. Thank you for your time and advice. :)

No problem! I don't really do much road mapping so I'm still figuring it out, I do mostly just sidewalks and parking lots, but I'm noticing some intersections near me also have some messed up lane configurations.

Another thing that might help is ab-street, if you download the desktop version you can import an area using an overpass query and view it using the viewer program bundled with ab-street, and it lets you click on segments and view where the turns connect from and to. It might not be 100% accurate but it's another thing that helps to debug. I found that a road near me shows up in ab-street with the wrong number of lanes which pointed me to an issue.
