While we are on oneway icons. Roads that have a
physical barrier between the two directions are normally mapped as two
seperate, oneway-ways. While correct, that sort of oneway is, in my
opinion, not the same oneway as a 'real' oneway street where there is no
parallel going the counterdirection. As it stands with our current
tagging we have no possibility to distinguish between them. I propose a
new tag : oneway_paired = true. This would be an _additional_ tag

As a bonus, renderers could drop the oneway arrows on such ways, which
is the cathographically correct thing to do.
