In the rare cases of waterways flow in both directions due to tidal forces or other phenomenon, it is highly unlikely these are one way, and if so, most likely conditional. Besides conditional regulations of navigation is often (though not always) regulated by a signal station or a traffic cont

Maybe, but it's a dependency that has existed for years. It is understood by "most mappers" (I know this is a generalisation) and is supported to some extent by many editing and other tools. //colin On 18 September 2016 16:35:44 CEST, Malcolm Herring wrote: >On 18/09/2016 11:14, Colin Smale w

Malcom, the values for "oneway" and all the "forward" and "backward" subkey business are geometric directions related to the order of the nodes in the OSM way, and not (always) linked to geographical concepts. Nobody navigates based on raw OSM data, on the roads or on the water. The values have to
