Nope. We've been over this many times on the talk-us list, and there have been enough examples of boundaries not actually following highways, despite TIGER claiming they do, and highways being realigned but the boundaries not following, that it's become clear that boundaries and highways should not be joined. That's not even getting into cases where one or both is badly aligned, and they appear to cross when they really don't (and thus joining at the crossing makes that much more work for someone fixing one or both). I've even seen this with railroads, where TIGER disagreed with reality, and a mindless bot went and joined them at the supposed crossings. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
