Hm, how does this work then? My understanding was, that you
take the addr:street tag and compare them with the road name.
But "Sandwall (Cycleway)" is for me not identical to "Sandwall"
as written in addr:street?

Else how can I detect, that a way is the original one ("Sandwall")
and not the cloned one for the opposite cycleway ("Sandwall (Cycleway)")?

  Thanks,
