Re: [talk-au] Melbourne Intersections with duplicate ways and turn lanes
Thanks Andrew, I've reached out to the user on a changeset, and will hopefully have a good conversation about it. In the meantime, I've found about 30-50 intersections with these duplicate ways and lanes. Would it be useful to add notes, or fix me tags to those intersections? I'm wary about flooding any feedback channels with many instances of the same problem, but it could help keep track of where work is needed? D.

Usually I see this as an older style mapping, before turn lane tagging was more common and sometimes done for routing so that people were warned earlier. But these days it's much better to use turn:lanes tagging and only split the way at the point where you can no longer physically change lanes. It's possible to revert changesets, but it's not always straightforward. Leaving a changeset comment is the best first step, as they might not be aware of standard practice and other tags like turn:lanes.

I haven't been able to find an example of where it was an issue, but generally the rule of thumb is only using separate ways when they are physically separated, so sometimes you're splitting into two parallel ways for either direction, but not usually for each lane of the road in a single direction.
