I don't know OSM's position on this issue - how about twoway=no* and* oneway=no ? showing the road is not one way only but does not permit two way traffic flow at the same time ? I think lane=1 and no mention of oneway is preferred. I can't go far without using such roads. OSM likes to rate them as trunk roads and I think this sucks really badly - as for one thing, it gives no clues to how bad the road is. There are places where sidewalks are non-existent so you get two-way roads with lanes=2 shared use of pedestrians and 44T trucks. It's why jaywalking is not an offence in the UK. Few roads are prohibited to pedestrians. If The Queen was driving along a narrow road and a pedestrian chose to walk down the middle of the road so the Queen couldn't pass, there's no traffic legislation to move the ped out of the way. Not even sure if there's any legislation to deal with this - as long as the ped makes reasonable progress. -- Mike. @millomweb <https://sites.google.com/site/millomweb/index/introduction> - For all your info on Millom and South Copeland via *the area's premier website - * *currently unavailable due to ongoing harassment of me, my family, property & pets* T&Cs <https://sites.google.com/site/pmailkeey/e-mail>
