This way is a highway and at the same time is part of the relation of a boundary. This seems invalid since it merges two types of features on the same way instead of keeping a logical separation between two different things. Is this a valid way? What if the highway is modified ? since the highway is not a legal boundary and just happens to overlap the real boundary, so if the highway is changed for any reason, it will modify the boundary along with it. So what's the valid thing to do here? Duplicate the way to save the highway way and keep a way for the boundary separated?,
I won't get in to the best way to accomplish this technically, but I suggest you remove the existing boundary information in whatever way works for you while leaving non-boundary information intact, and then upload your new information keeping it separate from any other (non-boundary) objects.
As other people have discussed, it can be very hard (requiring legal research or even court decisions) to know whether a boundary IS a certain feature and will change if the feature changes or merely currently follows a feature and will stay put if the feature changes. Uploading the boundaries as separate objects is not wrong and provides the vast majority of the value. If anyone is motivated to do the legal research and connect things when appropriate, they can do that later.
