Thank you all for your feedback.
For what it is worth, the editor has responded on a different changeset.
I've written what ended up being War and Peace to explain the importance
of mapping roads in a linear fashion, and encouraged them to join this
list. https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/112825020

I've updated the intersection to a similar layout to that suggested by

I have a passing familiarity with the area.
It looks like Ewan has just suggested a similar layout.
While making that edit I noticed Burwood Highway is tagged with
foot=yes. My first response was that's wrong as walking down a highway
would be dangerous (and illegal?). But then, foot=yes can imply a
footpath which is safe to use, but then the highway would be better
tagged with footway=sidewalk or sidewalk=left, though on the south side
of Burwood highway it would be better to tag the service lane, and not
the main highway. The next step is to map individual footpaths. I
decided to avoid that rabbit warren, and left foot=yes on the highway
for now.

Looking on mapillary, it seems you can also enter there, so the current
mapping is wrong.
Also, I can't see any legal reason, besides it being dangerous if there
is traffic, to cross all the way from the parking lot at the top to
that Burnwood Highway Service Road at the bottom, or the other way
around.
I'm not going to actually touch it, as it's way outside my usual
mapping area, but personally I would map it like this:

I have not seen this before, and it doesn't strike me as correct.
No, I would agree that it is not correct, & there's no real need for it
to be there.
From looking at what's already mapped, it would appear to be OK, with
one possible exception?
Can traffic from the Hwy enter the service road at the Rose St
intersection, or is it one-way outwards only?
If it's two-way, then Rose St should be broken, & the section between
the service road & the Hwy made two-way. At the same time, you could
also move it to the middle of the intersection, but that's only my OCD
neatness coming out! :-)
Thanks
Graeme
