Rivers especially in remote areas I agree with as they don't tend to be moved over time.

Roads, well one I just added had several new sections that are no longer where the old road and ABS boundary are.

Easiest way to fix it was just delete the highway and name tags from the ABS boundary and start again.  Ensuring the ABS source tag and boundary was still in place.

There is no guarantee that the ABS boundary still runs along any road.
