 - `duration`: The duration between each pair of coordinates, in seconds.  Does not include the duration of any turns.
 - `datasources`: The index of the datasource for the speed between each pair of coordinates. `0` is the default profile, other values are supplied via `--segment-speed-file` to `osrm-contract` or `osrm-customize`.  String-like names are in the `metadata.datasource_names` array.
 - `nodes`: The OSM node ID for each coordinate along the route, excluding the first/last user-supplied coordinates
-- `ways`: The OSM way ID for each pair of neighbour nodes in the list of nodes
+- `ways`: The OSM way ID for each pair of neighbor nodes in the list of nodes, with a sign. The sign means direction. A positive sign means moving in the direction of the way, while negative means moving in the opposite direction.
 - `weight`: The weights between each pair of coordinates.  Does not include any turn costs.
 - `speed`: Convenience field, calculation of `distance / duration` rounded to one decimal place
 - `metadata`: Metadata related to other annotations
