[OSM-talk] Turn restrictions ambiguity

[Lambertus]

What is your problem with having way sections between each intersection 
instead of one long way?

The AND data in the Netherlands has ways that go only from intersection 
to intersection, we already split the ways at bridges, tunnels, maxspeed 
changes, name changes etc. Apparently the method of splitting ways into 
sections is already widely spread, so what's the harm when we split 
where there is a turn restriction as well?
