    1919If a road or track or path is curved, the curve is approximated using a number of nodes within a way, and short lines connecting them. If a way has a direction, that is indicated partly by using tags. For example, "oneway=yes" is a road that goes only in one direction. (See [#ConventionsinCreatingCertainTypesofWays Conventions in "Creating certain types of ways"] at the bottom of this page for special considerations when creating a one-way road.) Other tags refer to being on the left and right of the direction of way along the way.
