[OSM-talk] Almost one way streets

[Gregory]

Just as an interesting side note I was mapping an area today that looks like
the following.

a     b
|      |
|--c--|
|      |
d     e

c is a short oneway road to a-d, with two lanes (as if it was coming up to a
busy junction with lights, but it's an infrequently used residential roads)
b is a two way road, but it can only turn into c and not into e.
e is also a two way road, but you can only turn into c and not b.
b, c have the same name but that's different to e (c and e actually seem to
have equal priority as they turn into c).

So I tagged c as one way, and split and end section of b to tag it as one
way doing the same to e. That way the arrows should clearly show you can't
go from b to e or vise-versa.

For anybody very interested, a-b is Cardinal's Walk, c-b is Warwrick Close
and it should be on the map soon.

I just thought I'd share as it was a bit unusal and no apparent reason for
it. I guess to stop the residential roads being used as a cut through for
the A-road and junction that wraps around a-b-e.
