For Canada, we have attached to each road the 'is_in tag, so it shows exactly where it is. However, I would agree that if all the roads in that suburb area all have that same tag, it's kind of redundent. I think it is because we dont (at least not yet) have that polygon to work with, so thats why it was added. However, NOW in Toronto (for example) we DO have those admin areas as polygons. (available, but not imported yet) Would it not be then a relation which is attached to everything in the area, where that polygon (its self) does not get rendered?
