[OSM-newbies] Same way appears 3 times

[Antony Walmsley]

Hi,

I've being fixing some validator errors in JOSM and I seem to have a road
that is in the database 3 times.
The area I am looking at is :
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=53.6488&lon=-2.8153&zoom=14&layers=B000FTF

The A59 north-south (approx. Sollom - Rufford) was showing up as an
overlapping highway. I picked a node in the middle of the way and tried to
split it to narrow down where the problem was but JOSM reported that the
node was used in more than one way. Looking at the history of the node :

http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/34487237

I see that it is used in three identical overlapping ways :

http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/27548942
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/27548961
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/27561103

How can I sort this out?

Thanks....
