<div dir="ltr">One downside of mapping the railway on a separate layer is that intersecting streets would be neglected, such as S Main St at the next intersection. S Main St actually crosses the rail and some part of that intersection should probably be tagged with info about the rail crossing (i.e. they should share a node), but this would not be caught by QA / editors with validation because different-layer ways are allowed to intersect without sharing a node.<div><br></div><div><div>There's also potential for impacts on other features like footways that intersect or ways that actually are on a different layer that now need to be bumped up/down to avoid intersecting the rail.</div><div><br></div><div><div>François' suggestion seems like the most descriptive option in lieu of a lane-like standard for composite ways.<br></div></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Wed, Apr 11, 2018 at 12:08 PM André Pirard <<a href="mailto:A.Pirard.Papou@gmail.com">A.Pirard.Papou@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">

They can both share the same nodes, or map the road as two

Good idea sharing nodes, that's doable but a bit tricky with JOSM. I
wonder about other editors. <br>
I would however make a short test to see what Osmose say about it
(rightly or not).<br>
There's a floating rule that ways cannot overlap unless making areas
share the same limits (e.g. buildings).<br>
I would raise the layer=* of the railway. I seem to think
overlapping is allowed then.<br>
I swear I don't map for the render but that doesn't stop me
wondering what it will be.<br>

<div dir="ltr">What's the best way to map a railway

in Lewistown, PA has a freight line running along
