I've seen this zigzag thing before in a German street atlas (a
municipal boundary in the Falk Berlin one), and suspect (although
this is a bit of a wild guess) that it is the result of the fact that
the paper map is based on a digital file, that can't depict two
segments (linear features) that are exactly on top of one another
(like in this case a road and a boundary). If this situation is the
real one, it should be described in detail in the boundary treaty. I
doubt this is the case, to be frank. I don't see the point of it...
But I have been wrong before.
