I am looking at using the OSM transport data in transport network planning,
in particular, how to buiid a network which works more effectively (dare I

We need all this information. The routes also need to be described with
'time-of-day' as well. (Locally, we have roads that reverse direction
depending on the time-of-day/weekday/weekend.)
