Another thing is that these sawtooth ways tend to cross other ways without
intersection, so this is a good indicator, too.
Lastly, I'm noticing orphan nodes in areas that need work.

, the FAA is a reasonably accurate and timely (monthly) source

could see the value in an ongoing import from them, but keep in mind that
there are other sites that do the same thing, who might should be
considered
resent,
though badly mis-aligned in places. So, I guess I take my trips to add
value in terms of those POIs, road characteristics (lanes, speed limits,
condition), turn-restrictions, etc. Not to mention, it's been fun going
out there and seeing places I've ne

sees nothing, they might likely just move on. If, however, they see the

correct, they are more likely to get interested in fixing them.

This is an argument over the use of english as a language and tags
that look like english words a
