Where there is a physical barrier, splitting a road in two, tag as two 
separate ways, with a oneway tag. Where a physical barrier splits a road in 
two, this is a dual carriageway, regardless of how many lanes each 
carriageway has.

It doesn't matter if a dual carriageway has at-grade junctions (i.e. just 
gaps in the barrier or side-turnings), or motorway-style slip-roads and 
bridges - they are still both dual carriageways and must be tagged with two 
ways.
