AFAIK roads cannot have more than one postcode (with the current mkgmap 
implementation...).

Not yet.

Yeah, sounds reasonable. I will add that. Which angle do you think is 
the max angle I should allow? 90, 120, 130, 160? I guess 130 should be 
allowed.

Sounds also reasonable. That is a slightly bigger change but I probably 
will add that too.

What do you mean with "turn at a crossover"? I am not sure... Can you 
post an ASCII drawing?
