Hi Graeme,

Thanks for looking at these.

Your layer=-1 / layer=1 suggestion would be very suitable if we were just
looking to visualize, however our end goal is to map these in such as way
that routing responses will identify all of the assets/structures being
traversed (including culverts). I would avoid using a spatial relationship
as it is unreliable nor easy to maintain.

I should've stated that looking at either of the x2 the (road) ways I used
as examples: 783119480 <https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/783119480> &
27885431 <https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/27885431> it's not possible to
determine that either (specifically) traverses a culvert. Best you can
determine on  783119480 <https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/783119480> is
that it traverses a "bridge" of no specific type/structure (bridge=yes).

re: splitting 27885431 <https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/27885431> - only
part of the way traverses the culvert. Just like 783119480
<https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/783119480> iis the traversal of the
culvert(s) only.

I really didn't want to throw out ideas - because I'm such a novice and
there's a high probability that they will be nothing but noise. But it does
seem sensible (on the surface - pardon the pun) to use bridge=culvert (like
a water course is tagged with tunnel=culvert). There's alternate
discussions around using bridge=simple_brunnel (or man_made=culvert) but
all have extremely low adoption and seem controversial.


Thanks for taking a look, much appreciated.
Andrew
