[OSM-newbies] Boundaries and Roads

[Dudley Ibbett]

Hi

I could do with some advice on joining field boundaries to roads.  I have been doing this as the mapping style I am use to never has the field boundary running along the side the road.  If the field boundary along the road is well set back then I would consider drawing it however in most cases it is within a few meters of the road and sometimes there is not gap at all.  I believe the OSM application can in theory go down to 3m.  Drawing a field boundary along a road where the gap is less than 3 meters between the boundary (wall,fence) and the end of the road would therefore seem unrealistic.

Should I try and draw the field boundary along the road in all situations or only do this when there is a large gap > 3m?

If I don't draw the field boundary along the road should I link to the road or should I stop the boundary just short of the road?

Some guidance would be appreciated as I don't want to link boundaries to roads if this could cause problems.

Many thanks in advance.

Regards

Dudley
