I find it strange that we are still discussion whether roads that are only legally divided should/could be split into 2 parallel ways, a solution that we did - since ever - reserve for physically divided roads. The answer to your situation above could be the divider-tag, applied on a single way, where it would solve many of these situations. For more complex situations (several parallel lanes, some of them divided legally, others not) we still would to have something at lane-level, as the simple divider approach does not tell you in these cases, where the divisions apply. The interruption of the continuous line on ~points (=very short ways not much longer than the width of a lane) could be modeled at node-level (to avoid excessive way splitting) and for longer pieces it would be on the way (which would then have to be split). cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
