<div>Hi<br>
<br>
I've yet to hear a valid reasoning for this relation type. It's much more beneficial to add addresses instead.<br>
<br>
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.
<br>
<br>
Personally I would delete associatedStreet. <br>

<pre wrap="">Has anyone else come across relations grouping road assets? i.e. the road
itself plus shops, buildings, street objects? e.g.
