I map a highway as two ways marked as one-way if - there is a physical divider between the opposite lanes or - there is a legal divider and the distance between the opposite lanes is significant. Don't forget to create parallel lines if the lanes in real life are (almost) parallel, i.e., if you set a node for one line, make a node for the parallel line. > The other interstates that are mapped in this area look like they are > a single line. If you know that they should be mapped as two lines, adjust the mapping ... :-) Best wishes, -bernd _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/newbies
