Right now, it's not practical to do this, because the main API only returns ways with nodes in the request bounding box, and the only way to get around that is by downloading a larger area. t...@h already gets some margin around the tile, but it's really impossible to know how far out one has to go to get all ways that might impact the rendering. I assume TRAPI (which is used for most t...@h renderings) does the same thing, but I'm not sure. However, it might be nice if it were changed to return all ways with bounding boxes that overlap the area being returned. I'll leave questions of whether that's possible or a good idea to the maintainers/developers. -- David J.
