[Talk-ca] Community boundaries

[Pierre Béland]

Stephen, 

The Nominatim tool  will classify properly the roads in a city when there is an administrative boundary relation defining the limits of the city. It seems that no one have been imported one for your city yet. 

Be Carefull! Do not try to do it by yourself. It is not an easy task and may cause serious problems if not done properly.

When there is no limits, Nominatim uses the node describing the closest town near your road, more or less.  

Depending on your province, there may be data available. So specify your location and ask on the list what can be done.
