When driving on an interstate, knowing where you are and what exits are coming up. To that end, one solution to this in Waze is to create an area place dedicated to said exit. These exits are conceivably usable for navigation, but serve the primary function of giving users an at a glance view of upcoming junctions as they travel, possibly before an exit sign has come into view.

Drawing
The shape of the IEA shall be drawn to include the entirety of the outermost ramp segment, fitted to their shape. This gives the most precise shape of the exit.
