And I very much agree that we should move to landuse instead of<br>abutters, but as long as it is so hard to have multiple ways on the same<br>nodes thats probably not going to happen.</blockquote><div><br>The solution to that is to use seperate ways with their own nodes running in parallel. Not ideal, but it is still a much better solution than abutters.
