Consider side of road for departure and destination points

Feature/Enhancement Proposal

I am using the matrix api to get travel times for a high number of relations. Most turn out reasonable, but some end up unreasonably short. I have determined that this is caused by instances where you in reality are required to drive past the destination, find somewhere to turn around and then arrive at the location at the correct side of the road.

See attached for an example. I have deliberately set the start and end points on the side of the road as the travel link is specifically to a bus stop on one side of the road. ORS does not seem to consider this and goes straight between the points, taking the shortest path and does not seem to consider what side of the road is used. The desired result here would be for the route to start at point 1, then continue north to the roundabout, take the 4th exit and then return to point 2 at the correct side of the road. It would be appreciated if we could toggle side of road to be respected.

Thanks for filing in a feature request! It sounds familiar to the curbside feature introduced a while ago in graphhopper, the routing engine ORS piggybacks on. More details can be found in the blogpost. Might be worth looking into how easy it would be to integrate it into ORS as well.
