I'm pretty familiar with this junction and am convinced that there aren't "three parallel roads" here. There's actually only one (the A17). My recollection matches the Bing imagery - one road, one lane in each direction and one turn lane.

Also, somehow the Viking Way relation has got broken here (apparently there is no way to cross the road if you're a pedestrian!). In reality the path from the south and the track from the north join in the same place on the A17.

There seem to be two "Stan Laurel Inn"s here. Presumably there should be really only one (perhaps a pub with food=yes)?

Sutton's Bookshop.

A real bookshop!

Petrol station shut down, there are three alternatives nearby, one on A590 going into Ulverston and two in Ulverston itself

Something's gone horribly wrong here http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/71246467#map=18/54.23647/-3.25836 clearly doesn't follow that line. It looks like someone's moved some landuse nodes perhaps?
