Yesterday I took ~1 mln rides we made in December and matched them to the OSM road network. With that I found a few hundred points where an actual trace diverged from the matched one quite often. This usually means a oneway tag is wrong, or a turn restriction is incomplete.

The result is this MapRoulette challenge: https://maproulette.org/mr3/challenge/3570

Have fun,

Thanks, Ilya -- this *is* fun! You've caught a lot of bad tagging that's been sitting for years. Looks like we're about a third of the way through these already. Teamwork!

If you have the resources, I'd love to see this challenge repeated every few months so we can continue hunting these bad tags to extinction, and also keep up with new changes. A couple of suggestions, and I don't know how realistic these are since this is my first time using Maproulette:

 - From each task, before entering the edit mode, it would be great to have a direct link to https://www.openstreetmap.org/directions with the start and end locations encoded, so we can immediately check if the task in question is still an issue. A fair number of them have already been fixed, and/or I can't replicate. As of now my workflow is: Zoom in, turn on data layer, click a building, click the https://www.openstreetmap.org/way link in the popup, pan around the map to find approximate start and end points, and get directions via OSRM. It would be great to save some steps and to get the exact same start end end points you used.

 - When invoking iD, the changeset comment field is auto-populated with #maproulette -- is it possible to also auto-populate with the challenge and task number?

Thanks for your work, Jason
