[OSM-talk] Church building rendering bug?

[Konrad Skeri]

A vector of a way may be modelled in the center of the road but is
representing the whole road and not just the centerline (just as a
node with highway=crossing represents a crossing of the whole road and
not just a crossing of the centerline), hence allowing an area to
touch the road means that it extends to the road (which the way vector
represents) and not that it extends to the centerline (even if that's
where we place the way vector)

Of course there are several different views on this topic and has been
discussed before.
