Australian 'Overland Track' is 'one-way' for people doing the whole 
route in the peak time, however people coming in from the sides are 
allowed to walk the other way for 'short distances'.
As such the ways are not oneway, but the route is oneway for some of the 
time. And during that time a fee is charged...
I have not attempted to tag the one way nature - if you apply for the 
permit you get told that information anyway.
The relation is 1673569
