I'm using OSM API (overpy and overpass using Python3) to extract toll roads "toll=yes" in a certain search area (e.g. searchArea = California). The API spits out all the tolled ways in CA split into ways. What I'd like to see is each toll road as a whole, i.e. not split into ways. Is there a way to regroup all the tiny ways back into the bigger road? How are ways linked in OSM? asked 25 Dec '17, 20:37  omarfaskar |

The ways are linked via common/shared end nodes. Essentially you need to define which properties/tags should be the same over a "bigger road" (for example the name tag) and create one geometry our of the segments by joining them at the end nodes. answered 26 Dec '17, 15:59  SimonPoole ♦ edited 26 Dec '17, 16:00 |
