Mark overtaking lanes on back roads / B road highways
On minor highways (in Australia at least) they are often one lane in either direction, with the occasional overtaking lane being two lanes in one direction, one in the other.
These can be 10km+ apart and aren’t signposted until they are close.
It would be nice to colour indicate these lanes on the map so the driver/passenger can see if it is worth waiting to overtake a vehicle in the single lane road or wait until the safer overtaking lane
Thanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

I totally agree. In Spain too, drivers get impatient behind trucks or slow vehicles and tend to be imprudent. Both in normal roads and even in 2 lane highways uphill, before a 3rd lane opens. Knowing the distance to an overtaking lane might avoid risky manoeuvres
