On implied turn restrictions and armchair mapping

From the Florida handbook PDF page 48, not an article. “Solid White Line A solid white line marks the right edge of the roadway or separates lanes of traffic moving in the same direction. You may travel in the same direction on both sides of this line, but you should not cross the line unless you must do so to avoid a hazard.”

Crossing to make a turn is not avoiding a hazard. Do not remove route restrictions that restrict traffic flow to correct behavior.

Page 36 5.32.1 - Entering and Leaving Expressways also suggests it to be wrong Page 33 5.24 - Making Turns As well “10. Finish your turn in the proper lane. A right turn should be from the right lane into the right lane of the roadway entered. A left turn may be completed in any lane lawfully available, or safe, for the desired direction of travel. See the diagrams for making left turns from or into one-way streets. If you reach an intersection where you wish to make a right or left turn and are not in the proper lane, you should drive to the next intersection. Then make the turn from the proper lane.”

Someone has vandalized OSM

This now appears to be corrected.
