Yes, I was mainly thinking about more remote areas and things like driveways to private properties. I suspect it wouldn’t be a priority for Facebook. I may as well drop in a request.

The problem is, of course, that I then can't name them. Thanks Graeme ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

Re: [talk-au] Facebook RapiD Roads
I'm sure it would be a valuable data source to make use of. However, I'm certain many other countries have a much greater need. Our road coverage is close to 99% from memory. (I can't remember the exact figure or reference.) We also have pretty good access to government data in many states. No harm in asking though. (Now, if they enabled quality building outlines, that would be a game changer.)
