I've been seeing this thread develop, and apart from trying to use areas and relations in all sorts of weird and wonderful ways wouldn't it be simpler from a logical point of view to treat ways as a grouping of lanes and those lanes can be assigned tags that differ from the ways, such as directions.
Using areas seems like a lot of work for no benefit if you just need a simple 2 lane road that has no foot paths or other interesting features. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
