No, you are simply wrong here. Oneway is a legal concept that really 
applies for the way and it is different from turning restrictions that 
applies to particular combination of traversing on the graph edges (ie., 
a relation). And you cannot ignore turning restrictions as it by no means 
guarantees that the way itself is oneway legally, just the turning is 
forbidden from the way you're coming from.
