Ok to cover that and prevent confusion with day changes you might do this:

oneway=tidal
oneway:forward=Mo 00:30-02:00; Mo-Fr 02:00-12:30; Sa-Su,PH 14:00-00:30
oneway:reverse=Sa 00:30-02:00; Sa-Su,PH 02:00-12:30; Mo-Fr 14:00-00:30

Although even that isn't 100% perfect, what happens when a public
holiday falls in the middle of a week, but is close.

I didn't think it was unique, but it would be reasonably rare, so
finding something similar that has been tagged in a suitable way might
be hard.

A quick check on wikipedia found this:

Apparently it stays open during fri/sat and sun/mon when the direction
doesnt change.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reversible_lane#Examples also shows that
its not a unique situation, maybe its worth a look at how others have
worked with it.

I dont live in the area, and only found the way due to its funny tagging
(ie. 'How on earth do i tag this'), hence why I threw the query out to
the mailing list for any advice on how to fix the situation.

As mentioned in my original email.  I only summarized the email that I
also attached to the end of my original email, to give the concept
between a one-way that changes at different times.

David, as a local resident I can tell you the Southern Expressway is 
never dual-way. In between the one-way periods, it's closed for changeover 
(access=no), while operators review video cameras covering the whole length to 
ensure no vehicles remain on the road.

Also, it's not just weekends but also public holidays which use the reversed 
pattern.

John, the start time is 2am, not midnight.

Perhaps we can use:

oneway:forward=Mon-Fri 02:00-12:30; Sat-Sun+Hol 14:00-00:30
oneway:reverse=Mon-Fri 14:00-00:30; Sat-Sun+Hol 02:00-12:30

I've also seen roads that are one way in a particular direction based
on when the school bus is running and in which direction it is running
at that time of day.

There doesn't seem to be much point looking at opening_hours=*
tagging, since that generally only covers on or off.

The whole section of road would need to have the direction of the way
in the same direction so you could make simple references to
forward/backward.

After that it comes down to making stuff up and see how much flak you
cop on the tagging list :D

Since you didn't mention a starting time, I'm going to assume midnight.

I thought it was worth throwing out there to get the lists opinion on
the appropriate way to tag this road.  In summary, it is 21km long and
is one-way for 10.5hrs, dual-way for 1.5hr, then one-way in the opposite
direction for 10.5hrs and dual-way again for 1.5hr.  Then just for fun,
on weekends, the day/night pattern is reversed.

Sorry to take so long to respond -- have been away from OSM for some time.

That must have been the Southern Expressway -- it's a rather bizarre road. At 
21km in length, it's probably the world's longest one-way street.

It's "tidal" in that it changes direction to suit traffic patterns at different 
times of day.

During the week, it's one-way in the Northbound direction between 2am-12:30pm, 
one-way Southbound between 2pm-12:30am, and entry prohibited for changeover 
between 12:30am-2am & between 12:30pm-2pm.

Just to make things more confusing, on weekends & public holidays, the 
Northbound & Southbound time-slots get swapped around!

I couldn't figure out how to represent such a strange road accurately in OSM 
way back when I left those tags you saw. And I still can't figure it out now. 
I'm beginning to think that it might not be possible.

For more information on the Southern Expressway, see

Click to display the validation plugin panel or press Alt+Shift+V then
click on the validate button, make sure nothing is selected or only
the selection with be validated, you could make things a little more

So does mapnik, but they cheated to get round most problems by

Which was made redundent by creating shape files from the coastline
segments before relations existed, although this is probably still a
lot more useful.

Yes, but coastlines should be much less nodes otherwise you start
hitting problems similar to those in the Philippines...

You still haven't explained how to check the whole coastline is joined with

Coastlines should be a polygon, but can't be for various reasons, such

Are you able to explain how to check easily with JOSM if part of the
coastline is missing?

With reading about all the rendering problems with coastline not being a
continuous polygon a relation seemed the best way.  

2 other reasons for a coastline relation.

1) I was also planning to use the relations in for the maritime borders as
the baseline as per my original email that no one commented on.

2) Consistent naming of coastline per state for boating with only the name
needing to be in the relation. 
 


 
With creating the  relations I decided to make a coastline relation per
state to cut down on the amount needed to download for a specific state.

Error checking doesn't seem to me to be a good idea to use relations,
JOSM has a validation checker that should be used for this kind of
thing.

Add a relation if you have a valid reason to use one, like sharing a
boundary between sections of land based national park and marine park,
but using a relation for error checking seems wrong to me.
