IMHO in first approximation it would be OK to simply draw one of these (to create the connection, the most useful part) and eventually in a later state you could add more of them. The fact that they run parallelly doesn't mean each of them isn't a (high)way which could be mapped on its own. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
