But what's a "road"? All segments with the same name? Continuing Segments of the same road type or administrative class, even if other ways with the same name branch off? etc... In reality, there are only segments of roads between intersections, or even smaller, that (roughly) share the same attributes - we have the same in OSM, with split segments where attributes change. It's not the target of road construction/traffic planning to conserve the structures of historical grown street networks, so these problems will always be there, at least if we don't have a proper definition for what a "road" should be. ;-) Maybe it would be better to be able to download connected ways sharing specified tags via the API in some future version. -Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
