Roads are being connected to the boundary instead of the the road. The road or other way has been moved to create a clear path for the boundary and vice-a-versa. I presume the overlapping sections of the boundary could be merged with the underlying way. Has anybody had any experience doing this and what are the potential pitfalls?
Thanks Gary" Hi Gary, I'm a firm believer that virtual things like admin and landuse boundaries should never be glued to roads. Once I had to dissect about 5 layers of landuse park admin boundaries in order to get to the road (I needed to add a bridge into the road). It was a complete nightmare and took about an hour instead of about 1 minute. If these boundaries can not be in their own seperate OSM layer then I also would like to see them offset from the roads by a small margin. Cheers Nick
