Comment from Josef K
What purpose does this relation serve?

Comment from waldyrious
Hi Josef. The relation is the only way to combine the various disjoint ways and identify the full avenue as a single object corresponding to the real-world location that people can refer to, associate to representations in other datasets (e.g. Wikidata), search for, use in addressing, etc.

Ok. But in that case it would be necessary to create a relation for every street, no? Seems like a terrbily burdensome solution. Is this explained somewhere in the wiki?

Comment from waldyrious
You're right, it is burdensome and unpractical for OSM editors. I am not aware of this being a common practice -- I just happened to need this personally, so I went ahead and "scratched the itch" :) of course, if there's a better way to fill the same need (now or eventually), I'll be happy to apply it.
