Isn't it better in most situations to have both (ways and areas) rather than just one or the other? At an intersection, yes, there is one squarish section of road that I am capable of traveling on in any spot in any direction. But the actual paths of travel through that intersection form intersecting lines, not areas. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
