get around ways - more data

Question

I'm trying to get the ways around me using this API query: (overpass-turbo.au)

<query type="way">
    <around lat="52.002362" lon="-1.271373" radius="20"/>
 <has-kv k="highway"/>
</query>
<union>  <item/>
  <recurse type="down"/>
</union>
<print/>

Its returns data but i want to get more nodes, in this example more of road M40 so I can reduce the API calls. is it possible using this query with other parameters or by query for the specific road (M40) by another API call?

After looking more into the api: Its shame there is no straight way to get the all parts of the road by some part of it, it's will be much easier. I found a way to do it, but with some work:

query again the overpass api by the name & ref that I get from the first query, e.g: http://overpass-api.de/api/interpreter?data=[out:json][timeout:25];(node["name"="John F Foran Freeway"]["ref"="I 280"];way["name"="John F Foran Freeway"]["ref"="I 280"];relation["name"="John F Foran Freeway"]["ref"="I 280"];);out;>;out skel qt;
get all way nodes from the result json and merge them to one list of points, need some work since you need to pass each of the items and find the next one by compare each the last and the first points.
