Ah. Now I understand. I had made the incorrect assumption that both ways referred to the same physical stretch of roadway, as sometimes happens when data is imported for a region that has already had some manual mapping.

At an intersection within the city, the route turns in some direction or another. For that to be accurately reflected, the ways must end at the intersection. If the constituent ways extend through the intersection, as they might if someone combined ways without realizing the relation was there, the data will be incorrect as to the routing of the state highway. It would have "stubs".
