Hi, I've being fixing some validator errors in JOSM and I seem to have a road that is in the database 3 times. The area I am looking at is : http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=53.6488&lon=-2.8153&zoom=14&layers=B000FTF The A59 north-south (approx. Sollom - Rufford) was showing up as an overlapping highway. I picked a node in the middle of the way and tried to split it to narrow down where the problem was but JOSM reported that the node was used in more than one way. Looking at the history of the node : http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/34487237 I see that it is used in three identical overlapping ways : http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/27548942 http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/27548961 http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/27561103 How can I sort this out? Antony If using JOSM a click of the middle button whilst the cursor is over the way brings up a dialog box listing the three ways. Whilst the dialog is open hold down the left mouse button and you can select any of the ways individually. Select a way and delete it, then repeat process to delete the third way. Before doing the above I would : 1) check that all ways have the same tags, so you will not delete w way with extra information 2) check each way starts and ends at the same point as each of the other two ways.
