If you aren't, it shouldn't. In Florida and I believe most of the US, the legal distinction would be double yellow ( http://www.golocalnet.net/drive/dblyel.htm) means no passing, and should be represented as one way; double double yellow ( http://www.golocalnet.net/drive/dblyel2.htm) means no crossing, and should be represented as a dual carriageway. But that obviously has to be adapted for each jurisdiction. the Bruce highway for example allows you to cross in some places and > doesn't in others, but this is more a case of where it's safe to over > take or not, should these sections where it's not safe to over take > mean we draw 2 distinct ways as a result? > > > http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&ie=UTF8&t=h&ll=-26.134596,152.582068&spn=0,359.990988&z=18&layer=c&cbll=-26.134719,152.583365&panoid=Zqx7qYT6v-zeBfuZnmywdA&cbp=12,270.23,,0,5.75 > In this case there appear to be no intersections or places to turn, in which case it doesn't really matter. > Also how would you do this: > > > http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&ie=UTF8&t=h&ll=-26.134789,152.590678&spn=0,359.986063&z=17&layer=c&cbll=-26.134677,152.590969&panoid=eVbTF6vxWoolDxDVBQpWNg&cbp=12,77.27,,0,5.07 > > It's legal to cross the road from one side, but not the other, etc etc > etc... > I'm not talking about where passing is allowed, I'm talking about where turning is allowed. In any case, once again there appear to be no intersections or places to turn, in which case it doesn't really matter. If you can direct me to a site which explains these lines and what they mean, I can give you a further response. > > But if there is a concrete barrier in place, you agree we might have two > > ways going over one bridge.

All this stuff about mapping individual lanes is off-topic? We need a method to represent a single bridge with multiple ways? Any suggestions?
