Martijn, When you're dealing with a repeatedly mixed single/dual carriageway road, such as CA 78, the lack of a diagram in JOSM showing single/dual logic once you switch from role=forward to role=east (or west) soon becomes unbearable. In the end I gave up and created separate EB and WB

James, I have a question about this, though it all sounds good to me in principle. Is your proposal just about the relations? What would we do on the refs of the ways? For example, on I-394 in Minneapolis and western suburbs, a mapper has left off US 12 because it is at least partly unsigned.
