Use Traffic Light as Reference to Turn
Tell users where to make a turn such as "at the light" or "the next light" like Apple Maps. This is better than suggesting to turn in # of miles.

As it is not easy to estimate the distance ahead in several hundreds of meters, it would be helpful to get instruction by counting intersections or traffic lights. For example “at the second intersection turn left” or “at the next traffic light turn right”.

This would help avoid wrong turns, especially in unfamiliar areas! Please make this happen!

Not enough volunteers to map them all (or to QC a data import). We can't even handle all the URs. We still see "not able to connect to server" or "not finding a route" errors. Fix those (the basics) first.

If I’m in a new area, I’ll have no idea whether I’m supposed to turn at the lights, or before, or after. So I suggest adding a TTS option to say, ‘in 1km, at the lights, turn left onto Example St’. I also suggest that these lights should be mapped and displayed for extra re-assurance for the user.
After pitching this to some fellow editors in the Aussie community, @maporaptor suggested there be an option in settings to prefer routes that turn at traffic lights, due to the annoyance of crossing 4 lanes of traffic to take a little shortcut, when there is a set of lights ahead.
To be clear, I DON’T WANT A WARNING to say traffic lights ahead.Ideas floated around with @maporaptor & @Brandon28AU in the Aussie Discord server (#beta-app channel).
