[OSM-talk] Not attaching polygons to roads

[Johan C]

It looks utterly wrong to me when a wall is being put in the middle of a
normal road (I've only seen this in Berlin in the mid 80's, but that was an
actual groundtruth situation at the time). Not to mention that attaching
polygons to roads is very unfriendly to newcomers who will not be able to
select a road in iD in a normal way to update e.g. maxspeeds.
