For the sake of discussion, I believe the interface for setting this attribute could be different (I am a software developer). For example, in graphical interfaces like iD you could have "no" preselected as convenience. But if you send "no", you are saying "no". Otherwise, you could opt-out and le

Hi Xavier, "no" is the "default" value of the oneway tag as it's the most correct assumption. First as in general most roads are not oneway roads (considering any road inside and outside of cities), and second as the other case around would be even worse: If "yes, this is a oneway street" would be
