I do my best to avoid anything to do with highway relations, but FWIW I recently did just this in Potlatch 2--split a way that's part of relations to add a bridge and totally ignored the relations--and it all worked out fine as far as I can tell: <a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/126659318">http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/126659318</a> <br>

I really don't understand this logic. I have never run into a case where<br>
JOSM has broken a relation in a way that wasn't obvious to me. Obviously<br>
I don't "get around" as much as you, Nathan, but can you remind me of a<br>
specific case where a relation breaks over the course of normal editing?<br>

The real problem is that there's no way to show the former state of a relation, and I tend to fix errors whenever I find them. I know I've recently fixed US 10 in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, mostly where it overlaps with Interstates. If you're better than me at figuring out the history, see: <a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/5247114" target="_blank">http://www.openstreetmap.org/<u></u>browse/changeset/5247114</a><br>

The most common problem I see is when someone splits a way to create a bridge, and for whatever reason the newly-created ways aren't part of the relation.<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br>
