bridges have been solved by introducing a revolutionary concept: a
dedicated object for an explicit bridge. It remains a mystery why it took
us 10 years ;-)
Have a look at man_made=bridge, doesn't even require relations.

The "street relation" has not only been born, it has already died, at least
almost. Like its cousing, the associatedstreet street (which seems more
live than the street relation). Honestly, I don't understand what these
relations could solve in conjunction with dual carriageways, could you
explain?

Generally we should avoid relations where they are not necessary. No need
for a relation to say these street parts do share the same name. Simply put
the same name on them.

Cheers,
Martin
