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.

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).
