Take a segment of way and drag it away from the way. You get a 
rectangular 90° extension.

To draw a rectangle:
- draw one way
- extrude the way until you reached the opposite side.

Some cleverness added regarding extruding of areas and ... and you have 
JOSM extrude function. It is very handy for these tasks, but nevertheless 
people have problems to use it properly.
