You may want to try a tool I am developping  (DISCLAIMER: beta version,
may fail ... but feedback welcome) to analyse a relation. Handles "1
relation for both directions", roundabouts, child relations and even "1
relation for 4 directions" (see MI 5:
http://toolserver.org/~nakor/relation.fcgi?relation=252428 )

Thanks,  N.

Moving back to one of my original questions, I think Nakor was the

The Diff code is a little tangled, but from the WIKI, it looks like 
only interstates I-24, I-26, I-84 were merged from 2-relations into 
1-relation with roles.  The rest of the system still has the relation 
numbers listed in the WIKI.  From what I can see, it looks like 
there's no clear winner between the two systems, although quite a few 
Interstates are still missing supers.


I'm happy to use either method, but one of the reasons why I prefer 
the 1-relation-per-direction method is that it lets me quickly find 
areas that need to be split into dual carriageways.
i prefer using one relation per direction, and that's what i've been 
doing. if the consensus should
sway the other way, i won't engage in a lot of public whining about it, 
though.

same for me, Josm has good support for sorting and relations and checking
for gaps. also the relation analyzer will flag them without errors then.
this helped me so much when I tried to fix routing problems and a road is
disconnected because 2 nodes on top of each other or very small gaps in a
road.
One can always create a super relation to collect both directions into one
relation.

Agreed.  One of the reasons I started this discussion was to make sure that
what the wiki calls for is still "right".  As far as rendering the shields
go, I think we should stick with the established tagging scheme and let
whoever writes the parser worry about stripping the network=US: out of US:*
.
