There is another example at M40 junction 4 http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=51.61226&lon=-0.76773&zoom=16&layers=B000FTF amongst quite a few others around the country. Not all of them are one way, some are two way, such as this one up north http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=53.47973&lon=-2.28295&zoom=17&layers=B000FTF _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
