+- Phrase slight and sharp ramps as directions, so a ramp reads "slightly left"
+  instead of "on the slightly left", and a lane names its side in both

+Directions ramp and exit text uses “on the left/right” only for a bare side;
+slight and sharp modifiers read as “slightly/sharply left/right”. Lane instructions
+name the left or right lane. The localized page and proxy English stay in sync.

 Route duration labels select their unit after rounding seconds, switching to
 minutes at 59.5 seconds; a 59.6-second leg displays as `1 min`, rather than `60 s`.
