Placing an Area's Nodes near the adjacent Way's nodes helps make the map easier to maintain. I will often abut adjacent areas that are separated only by something thin and make their nodes share, however.Putting the other side of the argument, as Andrew I'm sure knew I would: [...]
How about buildings that really are at the edge of a road? (No fence, no space). I'm afraid I can't show you a photo yet. Do they share nodes since the "buildings are the border of the road" or don't they share them since "you can't enter the building from any point of the road"? (The area I talk about is this one:http://informationfreeway.org/?lat=49.971764870557124&lon=9.161737364989326&zoom=17&layers=B000F000F
and I know the buildings' shapes aren't correct but there are no Yahoo-Images for the city and I just did a quick run over the campus to get it mapped basically.) In this case I didn't share nodes to be able to edit the buildings without having to change the road every time (and to make the road have less nodes sind it really is 100% straight). Jannis
