Hi All, Since I am only trying to define those that cannot be determined spatially, this sounds correct to me: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:is_in
Explanation: Yes, they do say that the use is discouraged, but that is purely on the basis of boundaries being used as spatial relationships. I'm looking at exactly when that is not possible. I wouldn't want to tag something that clearly has a spatial relationship (topologically correct) with a boundary. Then, there's not discussion aroune what to do when this happens, only that others still advocate its use for such a scenario. For the record, an example of why this is needed.... We'll have a list of roads "Evergreen Terrace, Springfield" and we'll have some information about the road like "Cars from Shelbyville are not allowed". If we can't locate these road(s) in OSM because the topology of the road/suburb is inaccurate - we can't map it. Thus, either the topology needs fixing (which I believe is impossible and I'm not going to bother talking about that) or the roads on the boundary can have a tag which is absolute and can be used preferentially (if desired). Thoughts?
