A lot of times these overlapping ways are on county boundaries and share
nodes with the border ways, making it very difficult to only select the
nodes that belong to the highway=* ways.

Also, merging nodes doesn't merge the overlapping ways; when all the nodes
are merged you still have two distinct ways that use the same nodes.
Currently, one of the duplicate ways needs to be split and deleted. This
process takes many keystrokes and mouse gestures :)
