the landuse polygon has an orange highlight on it, why does it do that?
Just a hint on mapping (not to Robin in particular): I think it is
unnecessary to cut up landuse=residential areas just because there is a road
there. The road itself is as much part of the residential area as the ground
the houses stand on. IMHO there is no reason not to make the
landuse=residential be contiguous across multiple roads.
I disagree. Public roads generally are a different landuse (i.e. they
are roads). Smaller landuse entities also are much easier to refine
later. And yet another point: landuse mapped like in this example
conveys more information because it indicates the border of the
private properties.
I'd probably split the polygons only at Sandringham (which I'd make
tertiary), unless each block has its own name. Residential roads are
obviously part of a residential landuse.
