I want to perform some analyses on the cycleways in my town. To do this I exported the cycleways using the following overpass query: [out:json]; area[name="Segrate"]; way["highway"="cycleway"](area); (._;>;); out; I noticed that some of the returned cycleways are **outside** of the town, which is very clear if you run [this query, in which I also draw the town boundaries][1]. It appears that if the cycleway has a part inside the area and one outside, also the outer part is included in the query response. - Is there a way to limit the response of the query regarding a area, to the parts of the highways strictly inside that area? - Alternatively, how can I use the boundaries as a polygon to limit the returned highways at the nodes that are inside?
