OpenStreetMap
I am currently Using the old Wayscheck scripts from Gary68 to find and fix problems with crossing roads, loose end and such in Denmark (Fyn and Jylland).
I have resolved quite som problems but now I have a problem that I dont know how to fix, so some assistance is welcome.
There is a East/West going highway in Jutland named "Esbjergmotorvejen" and it seems that there are several overlapping instances of this road, I have tried to delete some of these but not succeded.
The involved overlapping ways (according to JOSM validator) are:
3 ways: Esbjergmotorvejen
164 points 25612631
43 points 4596756
66 points 4596751
2 ways: Esbjergmotorvejen
164 points 25612631
66 points 4596752
3 ways: Esbjergmotorvejen
166 points 4048475
46 points 4596755
99 points 4596744
2 ways: Esbjergmotorvejen
166 points 4048475
99 points 4596744
I think it should be possible to load all the needed roads into JOSM with this link

Those objekts are members of relations, i guess.
In JOSM there should be a warning massage if you try to delete such a object.

Yes you are right they are all part of a relation (the same relation in each of the four groups).
Some days ago I removed some of the roads and thought I succeeded, but yesterday I realised that they were still there.
When I tried to remove them yesterday, JOSM showed a warning about them being part of a relation and I accpeted that they be removed from the relation.
Everything seemed OK in JOSM, but when trying to upload I got a warning about a problem and it would retry in 5 seconds, and after 5 seconds the warning disapeare.
I then tried to upload again and it listed one less change to upload but same error afterwards, and after a couple of uploads every thing seemd to be uploaded.
AFter a restart of JOSM and download of the area again, all the ways were there again, so what to do ?
Maybe the server was just busy so I will try again one day.

Just tried to delete way/4596756 with JOSM
It fails when trying upload, with amessage about en error 412 and trying again in 5 seconds.
Then I tried to simply remove the way from the relation and then upload it, same error so it seems to be related to the relation/21359.
It seems like this route is quite bigg could this be the problem ? How do I get around that ?
I think I will try with potlach
