Notes

  • One might want to add other objects associated with the postal code to the relation, e.g., buildings. On the other hand, if they're already associated with a street in the relation, this isn't necessary.
  • If a street consists of several ways, you can add a Relation:street to the postal code relation instead of the separate ways.
