[talk-au] Tagging "boundary" roads with addr:*

[Graeme Fitzpatrick]

Would left / right help at all?

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Forward_%26_backward,_left_%26_right#Left_and_right

Contemplating something like:
addr:name=Sandgate Road + addr:suburb:left=Clayfield +
addr:suburb:right=Albion

Thanks

Graeme
