Adjust start/finish icons used in directions feature #2787

Open boothym opened 4 years ago

Currently the only difference between the start and finish directions icons in the directions feature is the green and red colours.

This is obviously not good for colourblind users - there should be something other colour to differentiate between them.

For example, cycle.travel uses a chequered flag for the finish icon: red marker with chequered flag

Even as someone who can distinguish the two colors, I always get them mixed up when a site uses these green and red pins. For some reason, my head says red = not yet started, green = complete.
