[OSM-talk] Turn restrictions ambiguity

I don't see a clear explanation as to why there is ambiguity if you  
don't do turn restrictions at the end of ways on the wiki. There is  
some stuff in the talk page

	http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Relation:restriction

Anyone care to provide an explanation?

The reason I ask is that I've come across some roads where there is a  
restriction every  other turn in both directions... and splitting a  
mile long road in to 30 pieces seems nuts. As a follow up, I can  
guess, but what will the renderer do in that situation? I'm guessing  
mapnik will give up trying to put 30 names on a one mile road and  
won't notice they're the same name?

Best

Steve
