    2626=== Ways (also an OSM data primitive) === #Ways
    2727[[Image(source:trunk/images/data/way.png,20,middle,margin-right=15,margin-bottom=5,nolink)]] A **way** is a sequence of nodes. OSM **way** used to represent linear objects, ''with respective tags'' it can used to describe: a river bank, tree row, kerbs in the streets (among other uses).

     31Since nodes are ordered in OSM; every way in OSM have 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.
