it does not imply that. A shared node merely implies that the stream and the road are *somehow* connected. A shared node with own tags can define any kind of such connection like an elevator for example. It is a matter of interpretation and can be defined what exactly the "connection" means. So lets define this shared node to mean "the culvert is part of the road construction". Indeed I have very rarely seen culverts going deep enough under a road that you could claim they are a separate construction from the road - most of them are integral part of the road construcion. It is also not quite true that the culvert has absolutely no relevance for the road above it - typically the embankment will be narrower in this place, there may be small walls on the side, bumps and frequently require attention from the driver. Of course I have proposed it before:) https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Simple_one_node_culvert_or_bridge Richard _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
