Re: [Tagging] Ways that change names while crossing divided roadways

Nice pic ;-) But I'm not sure you are "technically more accurate" here. If you want to be so, draw a polygon for the intersection, not a node. Finally, straight forward lines are more reflecting the reality. And turning restrictions are not required (in simple case) if you have the oneway

[Tagging] Ways that change names while crossing divided roadways

I installed the Garmin OSM map for my area and have been using it while I drive around locally. The one thing I've noticed is that there is a lot of inconsistency in how streets that cross divided roadways are named. For example: http://osm.org/go/Wpz_F8RFl- Note Sunset Blvd on the left and Cry
