1. An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor; and
at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs, the at least one memory and computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following;
identify, for use in route navigation, a complete set of lane traversals for a road intersection from two or more different complete sets of lane traversals for the road intersection based on respective safety-traffic flow scores assigned according to one or more predefined safety-traffic flow criteria; and
initiate a display of the road intersection with the complete set of lane traversals over a digital map on a user interface as the apparatus is detected to be approaching the road intersection,wherein each lane traversal defines a path of travel from an inbound lane of the road intersection to an outbound lane of the road intersection, andwherein each different complete set of lane traversals comprises a different combination of lane traversals for the road intersection.

Abstract
An apparatus comprising a processor and memory including computer program code, the memory and computer program code configured to, with the processor, enable the apparatus at least to:
- identify, for use in route navigation, a complete set of lane traversals for a road intersection from two or more different complete sets of lane traversals for the road intersection based on respective safety-traffic flow scores assigned according to one or more predefined safety-traffic flow criteria,
- wherein each lane traversal defines a path of travel from an inbound lane of the road intersection to an outbound lane of the road intersection, and
- wherein each different complete set of lane traversals comprises a different combination of lane traversals for the road intersection.

19. A method comprising:
-
identifying, by an apparatus, for use in route navigation, a complete set of lane traversals for a road intersection from two or more different complete sets of lane traversals for the road intersection based on respective safety-traffic flow scores assigned according to one or more predefined safety-traffic flow criteria; and initiating, by the apparatus, a display of the road intersection with the complete set of lane traversals over a digital map on a user interface as the apparatus is detected to be approaching the road intersection, wherein each lane traversal defines a path of travel from an inbound lane of the road intersection to an outbound lane of the road intersection, and wherein each different complete set of lane traversals comprises a different combination of lane traversals for the road intersection.

20. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium carrying one or more sequences of one or more instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause an apparatus to at least perform the following steps:
-
identifying, for use in route navigation, a complete set of lane traversals for a road intersection from two or more different complete sets of lane traversals for the road intersection based on respective safety-traffic flow scores assigned according to one or more predefined safety-traffic flow criteria; and initiating a display of the road intersection with the complete set of lane traversals over a digital map on a user interface as the apparatus is detected to be approaching the road intersection, wherein each lane traversal defines a path of travel from an inbound lane of the road intersection to an outbound lane of the road intersection, and wherein each different complete set of lane traversals comprises a different combination of lane traversals for the road intersection.
