Ok, no problem here. Just skip the city part off the highway. Way's can
contain holes - no problem here.


Example:

   A -------ab------- B -----bc------ C ------cd------- D

   ====================---------------===================


A, B, C, D are nodes
ab, bc, cd are line segments

=====    ====== is the highway. It contain a space, since the highway
isn't a highway within the city (as you suggest)
     ----       is the city road.


Ciao, Imi.
