I was about to say, relations of this manner seem duplicitous of simply having 
an address.

Street objects.. like bins and benches might make a bit of sense. I don’t think 
I’ve ever seen a street address on a bench node. But I’m fairly sure a query 
could be crafted to detect the nearest way to get that information, should it 
be required.

Hi

I've yet to hear a valid reasoning for this relation type. It's much more 
beneficial to add addresses instead.

There appears an increasing tendency to collect almost anything together into a 
relation. See public-transport's 'stop_area' as another example This is not why 
relations were conceived. It just adds duplication, confusion & errors.

Personally I would delete associatedStreet.

Has anyone else come across relations grouping road assets? i.e. the road
itself plus shops, buildings, street objects? e.g.

accepted elsewhere in the world or is it experimental?
