Thanks for you reply.<br><br>I've asked about the creation possibility, because there were 2 ways and after some changeset has been commited, one way become overlapped by other.<br><br>Ok, I will merge these ways using JOSM.<br>

<br>
</div>There are many possibilities: A bug in the uploading software, the<br>
user somehow duplicating the way, the user not saving his data after<br>
uploading, or - most likely - an aborted HTTP connection after the<br>
server received the data (either by the user hitting cancel or by a<br>
broken network connection). The latter prevents the client from<br>
learning the IDs the server has assigned to new objects and on next<br>
upload it will re-upload the same objects again as new.<br>

<br>
</div>If the ways really have the same nodes one can do Combine Ways (C) in<br>
JOSM and JOSM will merge all tags onto one way. If they don't exactly<br>
overlap one can in JOSM select them both and all tags of both ways<br>
will be listed in the properties list with the tags that have<br>
different values displaying <different>. Then one can edit those tags<br>
and the values that are actually used by one of the selected ways are<br>
shown in bold in the value drop-down. Once all tag values are merged<br>
one can delete one way.<br>
