What exactly is captured by two relations that is not captured by one, however? That's the part I'm not understanding. We have tools that (seem to) work fine with a single relation for both ways. They can just as easily check a single relation for the existence and completeness of component ways with forward and backward (or cardinal direction) roles as they can check for the existence and completeness of two separate relations and a super relation.<br>
<br>
Maybe I missed some earlier discussions on the advantages of the multiple relation model?<br>

I'm still confused as to why the consumers of a relation can't use the forward/backward roles of the ways referenced therein rather than requiring completely separate relations. Why do we need two or more relations plus a super relation per road route even for undivided highways? Even for a somewhat experienced mapper like myself, it makes the editing process that much more error prone.</blockquote>
</div><br />if the highway is never divided a single route would be sufficient (rather hard to find this situation probably), but if you have routes that even for a short way do not share the same geometry it will be easier to maintain and to check if every direction has its own relation (and IMHO less error prone).<br />
