Re: [OSM-Talk-ZA] Pretoria R80 southern extension
Hi, The last time I drove past there was in May, but I can't remember any roadworks of the scale depicted in OSM. I don't think that road exists because it would've made a big difference in traffic flow in the area. It might be a planned road, but no construction activity yet as far as I know.

Re: [OSM-Talk-ZA] Pretoria R80 southern extension
Hi, The edits made by that user has been discussed in April and again in August. The conclusion was that it was highway graffiti and the user has been blocked. Would be great if someone who knows the area can fix it. Regards.

I can possibly drive in that area tomorrow to lay this to rest...

Re: [OSM-Talk-ZA] Pretoria R80 southern extension
I raised the issues. These particular changes were made in June or July. I repaired some of the damage by marking the roads as proposed and breaking the links so that routing sw does not use them. Not sure that the user was ever blocked. His work has obviously not been reversed. Anyone know how to go about blocking the user and reversing his edits or has time to find out. I would certainly support this from the evidence I have found. There are a few positive changes he made but overall we are better off without them. Gerhardus referred to http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Disputes as a means but I never got there. See http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/marceldup/edits for changes made.
