<p>A not yet released "complete" feature from mmd of Overpass-API <a href="https://github.com/drolbr/Overpass-API/issues/95" class="issue-link" title="find a complete logical highway by name">drolbr/Overpass-API#95</a> can help people to show complete highways, even when there are gaps between.</p>

<p>Searching for "Ostmerheimer Straße, köln" with nominatim at openstreetmap.org will lead here <br>
<a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/209985260#map=19/50.95779/7.04874&layers=N">http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/209985260#map=19/50.95779/7.04874&layers=N</a></p>

<p>And you will see just a small piece of the disired highway.<br>

<p>By adding a new parameter like <em>logical_highway</em> to the /way/209985260 page, open an call to overpass-api and render the result in a new layer. Maybe you can use another color for distinguishing.</p>
