Thank you for this hint! I hadn't think of this way of handling the case, and it's way more straightforward than the use of a relation. I'll amend my OSM edits to use the ":forward" / ":backward" (I favor this one to the ":left" /":right", where the involved direction would be country dependent) tag suffix approach. Is the use of those suffixes documented anywhere, by the way? >I don't see a hostile comment on the Segmented Tags proposal Sorry, English is not my language. I happened to use by mistake too harsh an adjective for a plain objection.
