Hi,

so I it seems your country is doing things just as any other country
and you should think about not glueing borders to features.
I think glueing borders to features is perfectly all right; I even
advise people to use roads or river centrelines in boundary relations if
it makes sense. I think in many cases the boundary definition does not
exist independently of the feature.
I come
back again with some point already mentioned above: additional points
of roads for attributes like width or maxspeed, etc.: those will all
"curve" the road slightly (because points are never 100% linear in
OSM, or keep to be linear after some edits), hence curving the
boundary as a result.
It all depends on how the mapping has been done. If the boundary has
been imported from another source that may be one thing but if the
boundary has been mapped normally then it is very likely that any future
refining of the road geometry actually benefits the boundary rather than
making it "less precise".
I know both sides to this argument and they have been discussed
endlessly. Both sides have merits. It is good to know both techniques
and use them where they work. Neither technique is superior.
