G'day, Today I have a question about administrative boundaries, multipolygons, and what to do when they fall along a road. But first, I'll ramble a little and describe what I already have.
There's a way (boundary=administrative; member of Enterprise and Paradise multipolygons) that runs *very* close to another way (highway=tertiary, name=Bermuda Road). I haven't looked up any legal definitions and can't say for sure that the admin boundary lies on the street center line, the middle of the right of way, etc. but as a practical matter Bermuda separates Enterprise from Paradise. (I'm not making these names up, I live near [1]). The admin boundary has (IMHO) extra nodes (they don't connect to another way nor do they affect the shape of the boundary). To make things worse, I've joined some of these nodes to streets as I worked on the streets and land use in the area. So... now that I have to fix things, I want to improve the map while I go. I want to remove the boundary ways that "echo" Bermuda and add that piece of Bermuda to the Enterprise and Paradise relations. The relations already have boundary and admin_level tags. Finally the question. Am I making a mistake? After all, I could keep the boundary and Bermuda separate (correcting my errors and line up the nodes that make it up).
