In most cases if the correct one way structures are in place, the restrictions 
should be evident, but I do accept that simple 'no right turn' has no 
equivalent in osm. All the ones I've had to worry about around here have an 
island in the road as well so have one way segments past the junction on the 
wrong side :)
