 ==== Direction ====
+Since nodes are ordered in OSM; every way in OSM has a direction. This gives us possibility to add tags (details about object) such as [osmwiki:Key:conveying conveying=*] - to specify direction of escalators and moving walkways or [osmwiki:Key:incline incline=*] which can be used toghter with roads and footways. There [osmwiki:Category:Way_Direction_Dependent more examples] and we can't cover them all.

 ==== In most cases you don't need them ====

 If some object can be represented with single ''node'' or ''way'' and ''multiple tags supported by software'', then there is no need in relations. But there are some rare cases where it is theoretically and practically impossible ''only with nodes, ways and tags'' (ex. turn restrictions, will be covered below).

 But you can always track complete history of one node based on history. 
 Also, you can use time sliced data (region extracts by date) to inspect how objects were changing (and refer to object id and point in time from the database).
