Also, if a relation was defined that groups all the ways for that highway, you could select all the members of the relation - even beetter, you could move common tags (possibly name, ref, even highway) to the relation itself. A slight OT: is there some agreed decision on how to solve conflicts in tags between a relation and its elements? Regards, Simone
