Can someone help me understand two different types of stream and road crossings?
A ford <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:ford>can be a node or a way (180,749 nodes & 63,842 ways) However, a culvert <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:tunnel=culvert>can only be a way (691,972 ways) In many circumstances from imagery I can see a stream crossing under a road without a bridge or ford and therefore I assume that it is a culvert, but typically cannot see the ends to split the watercourse. Why does a culvert have to be a way rather than a way OR a node? What I would like to do is simply merge a node of the road and a node of the stream and give it the tag tunnel=culvert (when I do this JOSM complains) In the case where a culvert carries a watercourse over a road then it would make sense to create a way and layer=1 Any insights for this apparent inconsistency?
