The Ways and Nodes are stored separate. And a third table stores the links between nodes and ways. So there is no technical limit. answered 21 Jul '10, 06:39  DennisB |
I'm not sure, but given the data structures used in the database, there likely may not be a limit. How many ways do you really thing should share a single node? I would think once you got past a half-dozen or so at a very complicated intersection, things would just be getting silly. Can you think of a good reason for a large number of ways to share a single node? answered 21 Jul '10, 06:07  David Dean edited 21 Jul '10, 06:09 |
The only limit I'm aware of is 2000 nodes per way. answered 21 Jul '10, 06:39  JohnSmith |
Yeah, it's the inverse of this question.
