No no, I wasn't talking about ways crossing a postcode area boundary.
Just two ways crossing one another belonging entirely to different
divisions each and where do you invent the boundary then.  Possibly
this is not found in Australia but you'll sometimes find the division
of highways into counties is not 100% geographical and postcodes quite
often isn't.
