The problem is often one of formats. Shapefiles are often used to interchange this data, but shapefiles do not have topology. A common toolchain used for getting data from an ESRI-based server to shapefiles results in files that say that wherever two features cross they join. This is the type of mistake that someone doing an import needs to catch and fix before uploading. The fastest fix I've found in JOSM is to merge the two bridge ways, merge the two under-bridge ways, and delete the node where they intersect. _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
