US routes can also become two separate one-ways when becoming
express ways or trunk ways, while being a regular two-way street the
rest of the way, so it probably doesn't make sense to have separate
directions. Perhaps a proposal can be made for having
role=North|South|East|West for type=route relations?

Also, wouldn't it make sense to have the way a route is displayed as
the name? For example, network=I,ref=90 would have name="I 90", and
network=US:IL, ref=58 would have name="IL 58" in the relations.
