</div>In some places you aren't allowed to u-turn except where signed as a<br>
valid u-turn place.<br></blockquote><div><br>And in that situation, assuming you *are* allowed to cross the center line to make a left (right if you drive on the other side) turn, it would be easier to represent that as a single way with "uturn=no" than to create 2 parallel ways and connect all the driveways, etc. But either is acceptable to me.<br>

A way is a physical feature physically seperated from other ways,<br></blockquote><div><br>Define "physically separated".<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
anything joined is a single way but may have 1 or more lanes, if we<br>
could tag lanes this would be a moot argument and this is what we<br>
should be doing, then people wouldn't be trying to join ways with<br>
relations to describe a physical bridge which is a single physical<br>
object.<br>
</blockquote></div><br>Do you admit that a physical bridge can carry multiple ways, or not? I guess this will be determined when you define "physically separated". Hopefully you don't ignore this question like you did so many others.<br>
