"I've been working on my suburb (Brunswick East), and keep coming across

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?

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
