At the circle is a Church in Levy Street, street above is Lombaard 
Street, which is supposed to be the long street.

Below the Church is Blignaut Street, which should cross Bree Street, and 
make a junction with Lombard Street, i.e. short arm of the "Y" I 
mentioned earlier. Lombard Street is the other.

Thanks ... , will keep in mind ...


http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/1334354446

The above node connects to Bree Street

http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/1334354442

The above node connects to Lombard Street

The area between these nodes should be Blignaut Street, and not part of 
Lombard Street

You have understood very well, and works so far in that I achieve what I 
want, but then I get an effect, as tho, I had cut a strand of a 
spiderweb, a whole lot of lines between nodes change, which is not wanted.

It seems I am going to have to add a whole heap of nodes, I don't know 
where all, to stop this movement of lines, when the node link is broken

Hoping the above make things a little clearer.

Thanks,

Russell
