How can you detect whether there is an intersection at sea or in
the harbour?

If it is an intersection between route=ferry and route=ferry,
it is almost certainly at sea. The only possible exception is
on the port quay itself, but there you should also have an
intersection between route=ferry and natural=coastline. Hence
the proper logic would be something like


I guess the question is - should there be an *intersection* in the data?

- if ferry routes cross each other on the sea, very likely not

- if some routes have the first part of a section similar to each other (e.g. they all leave the port in the same way...), then this could be seen as a likely mapping approach, not really a bug in the data.

==> I guess this is similar to e.g. tram lines sharing the same way for some of their route. So I guess along that thought, OSRM (and other routers?) should consider changing between ferry routes only at ferry terminals, that would render all on-sea changes invalid anyhow.
