[OSM-newbies] Buildning alignment

[Arne Jakobsson]

Are you sure moving THE ROAD is the way to go? I mean, the road is where it is. A map map roads primarily. 
Having posted this issue here I have now come to my own conclusion to always stick to aligning with building bases and not roofs. Depending on the angle the aerial photo was taken, the building roof will displace by a varying amount and thus cover objects behind it.
Thank you for your reply though, it made the issue more clear to me.
