I've found one where the way was joined to the boundary - and the result was 
the road was moved from where it was in real life to another place (where it 
might have been once before)

honestly, roads move. local authorities move them.
Rivers and creeks can move in flood time and follow another course.

I make separate ways for the separate items.
