<div>The way is in Mont-Saint-Guibert. It seems like someone was
trying to map a bus route by duplicating all roads.</div>

I once wrote a message called SEGMENT to tagging@osm saying that
it's the way we should do it.<br>
Instead of making 2 splits in a road to make a bridge and have 3
segments, leave the road alone and add the bridge as a small second
segment under the road (yes, contrary to OSM belief, bridges are
under roads and not on top).<br>
Instead of having a walk or bus route split the roads in every place
because it enters and leaves them, leave the roads alone and make
additional ways for bus routes or walks sharing the road nodes.<br>
<br>
Unfortunately, human kind loves to choose the complicated methods.
They prefer to split roads abundantly and then to reassemble the
pieces with hard to maintain relations. And programs are trying to
simplify difficulties that should be simplicity. My message had not
a single reply and I don't want to fight human kind. I split,
split, and split so that if a mistake has to be corrected like the
name of a road, a second mistake has to be corrected too, and a
third one, and oh yes, there's a forth one. And you overlook the
fifth one.<br>
