But when only part of a road belong to a specific route, you need to split it up again to make that part belong to the relation. I guess it's not needed for all roads, but when adding bus routes, cycle routes and maybe what else there is to add, the effect would be that the roads would have to be split up... (On the same note, I find it quite easy to mess up relations by joining different roads again into one at the moment :-) ) Ben _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
