[OSM-talk] Should Bridges be independent of their ways?

[Mike Harris]

>From time to time I have a related problem, viz. a bridge carrying a public right of way and crossing both a physical feature, e.g. a river, and an administrative boundary. The result is that the ref= key changes value on the boundary, typically in the middle of the river, thus creating two consecutive bridges. This is basically only a rendering problem but I wonder whether anyone has any thoughts?

Hi

I have a bridge carrying a cycle lane, dual carriage way (with central reservtion) & footpath. As far as I can see is they each need there own bridge & the result gets a bit crowded.

Is there a way to simplify this?
If the bright was independent it could also mean that the ways wouldn't need to be split! Saving a hell of a lot of work.

Cheers
Dave F.
