Duplicate Edge problemproblem [Concluded]
There's 'Duplicate edge' which is easily resolved by e.g. separating a street from the edge of a square and then there are 'duplicate edge' where a e.g. complex pedestrian area is drawn, one part tagged with a cobblestone pattern, another part tagged as marble covered etc. Another simpler example a pedestrian area, bout 4 meters wide, 150 long joins a square https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/702458985 . The joining edge is marked as duplicate. It makes no sense to me why 2 in effect basically identical areas cant be sharing edges/nodes. Bar artificially separating them then create a single connect node 'to map around', no solution (and the facepalms are up to be slapped).

BTW, see these areas also often being thrown out as "no feature tag ways".
Any ideas to resolve these with a note that 'not mapping them details is not an option'. OsmAnd e.g. maps some of these properly like the area:highway=motorway areas.
