I am working on behalf of company called ‘PIE Mapping’. They are in the middle of migrating to OSM platform. I have been assigned a task to split the OSM street links as these links are not split to its junctions. In some places they are slightly longer and does not fit the purpose for routing/navigation.

Please see an example below. The line highlighted in yellow shows the current OSM street links, and if they tag a height restriction to this link. It will then assign that height restriction to the entire link which won’t be good for the navigation purpose. Therefore they want to split this link into two links so they can assign a height restriction only to the line highlighted in pink to make sure that the height restriction is only at that place where there is a overhead bridge so it avoids the section highlighted in pink instead. I hope this explanation helps.

Sorry, the above comment was for height restrictions, I was intended to post on other change sets. However, I am doing the width task for the same company.

yeah you are right. As a matter of fact if you just look at osm location, Its clearly visible here too that A14 seems to be an overhead bridge/road to the connecting road of Nasby road and other yellow road.

Just look at its street view.

I did split it into 2 as someone might want to turn on side road before height restriction but I just figured it out that there is height restriction on other end too. So I have merged them again.
