<p>I put up a small proof of concept to demonstrate <a href="https://github.com/jotpe" class="user-mention">@jotpe</a>'s proposal: <a href="http://dev.overpass-api.de/tmp/psv/complete/">http://dev.overpass-api.de/tmp/psv/complete/</a></p>
<p>Just click on some street with a name and see all parts of the street highlighted, regardless of how fragmented the underlying OSM data is. Small gaps are also ok.</p>
<p>Caveat: a bit of patience may be needed, the dev instance doesn't run on fast and shiny SSDs.</p>
