After about 18 months steady adding, I now believe I have completed Crawley,

During the downtime I figured I should really catch up with cleaning up my huge

I just spotted this on the Isle of Wight:

It looks like an extra road added, but it could be an existing way has been

Mike,
I don't believe that all A roads will be re-signed with green signs. There is
still a distinction between (former) trunk roads and other A-roads. Green
signed roads are generally more important roads, and usually built to a better
standard.
I think the current OSM situation is far more
Large-scale I-plucked-this-out-of-my-ass creative mapping bearing no

On a complete tangent to this
I've noticed a lot of changes to the Mapnik slippymap rendering lately, and
IMHO they are mainly not improvements.
As the appearance of this map layer has a large impact on the public face of
OSM, I think it's important to have lots of people discuss their views on this.
Personally I don't

GPS, but it doesn't seem to recognise it as a map. I tried

Peter,
The same idea has occurred to me also. I think far from developing this being a
waste of time, I think it is highly desirable from the point of view of
avoiding multiple ways sharing a set of nodes, which makes editing a nightmare.
It seems all round the most elegant solution for
Steve, I would suggest you reconsider doing this.
I would strongly support the use of highway=road for new roads that no
information is available for, eg from a trace that was done with a car but no
notes were made.
However, by retagging unclassified to road you are essentially deleting

I don't know if I count as a new user (started late
2007) but I can't see any benefit from this
namespace business. I'm technically minded, but not
an expert geek by any means, and not familiar with the
concept of namespaces.

On one of the issues, Robert, your understanding of

As far as I understand it, the idea is simply to
qualify a tag with

from node A, B, C to
Z, but from B to D and from M to P it is a
