There are many possibilities: A bug in the uploading software, the user somehow duplicating the way, the user not saving his data after uploading, or - most likely - an aborted HTTP connection after the server received the data (either by the user hitting cancel or by a broken network connection). The latter prevents the client from learning the IDs the server has assigned to new objects and on next upload it will re-upload the same objects again as new. > > As far as I can see correct way is 23735661 - the only missing tag is > "maxspeed" - am I right? If the ways really have the same nodes one can do Combine Ways (C) in JOSM and JOSM will merge all tags onto one way. If they don't exactly overlap one can in JOSM select them both and all tags of both ways will be listed in the properties list with the tags that have different values displaying <different>. Then one can edit those tags and the values that are actually used by one of the selected ways are shown in bold in the value drop-down. Once all tag values are merged one can delete one way.
