The key destination:ref=* should be used to specify the reference of the roads directly ahead as indicated on signposts, road markings or similar. The value of this key should be equal to, or a further qualification of, the value of the key ref=* of these roads.

Tagging

Just like the key destination=*, all sub-keys should be put on the first way after the junction. On the way before the junction those keys should (additionally!) only be used if their values are lane-dependent, and then the suffix :lanes has to be added.

All the sub-keys should only be used to specify information that can be seen on signposts, road markings or similar.
