[Talk-us] directions of ways in MassGIS data

2009-02-01 Thread Greg Troxel
In Massachusetts osm has state GIS data, and a number of the 1-way ways are the wrong direction. This is particularly obvious for divided highways, e.g. Rt 2 inside 128, 495 near Rt 2. Clearly I could go edit these manually. But I wonder if there is automated way to fix this, perhaps by going
