[talk-au] Another Melbourne intersection for review

[Kim Oldfield]

Hi Andrew,

A couple of days ago I updated this intersection to remove a couple of 
short ways, merge some ways, and update the turn restrictions. There 
should now be only one ways to negotiate the intersection from any entry 
to exit. This may explain why online directions are working, while 
OsmAnd may be using older data.

I haven't see a response to my question of when to use multiple lanes or 
separate ways. In this intersection there are small plastic obstructions 
between lanes. I can see arguments for modelling them either way. For a 
picture of these see
