Creating logical data from the start is difficult, as it's generally not a
good idea to create ways until you've mapped every junction going off them.
Inserting extra nodes/segments in a way and getting them back in the right
order is currently not very fun and not something you want to have to do too
much.
I tend to jot down road names as a tag on the first segment of a road and only
create the way once I'm sure I've mapped all connections.
