Good question. Why are we putting roads into relations? I'm just doing it because everyone else is. I have a vauge memory of arguments that a way beloning to several roads are better represented by a relation for each road instead of having ref=E 12; E 4; 92 /Konrad _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
