U-turn restriction via way instead of node

I remember that this was discussed some weeks ago, but I cannot remember if a final conclusion was reached. Certain types of these U-turn restrictions can be rewritten as only_straight_through. For instance, the only_straight_through relation on Itäkatu (southbound) also prevents a U-turn from Itäkatu (southbound) via Kehä I (east) to Itäkatu (northbound): at http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/32875 When ways have been split to opposing oneway lanes, a via node must be replaced with a via way, like this: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/59928 However, mkgmap will not like it: 2009/10/25 21:53:00 WARNING (RestrictionRelation): Turn restriction 59928 (http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=60.21242&lon=25.08756&zoom=17) 'via' member 4775828 is not a node Can this kind of turn restrictions be represented in the Garmin format? Best regards, Marko

When ways have been split to opposing oneway lanes, a via node must be replaced with a via way, like this: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/59928 However, mkgmap will not like it:

At this time, we don't know how to do that. It may or may not be possible, we simply don't know. Cheers, Mark
