Hello,
Just to let everyone know, in the absence of any other options, I'll be
reverting these in the next day or so.
For completeness there are two user accounts - one for the changeset I
mentioned below and also one I got in touch via
https://www.openstreetmap.org/user_blocks/5046 .
I've had a look at a sample of both users' edits, and unfortunately a
full revert followed by a review of those changes does seem the best way
forward - it'll restore lane information and turn relations, and also
undo other problem merges such as
https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/10632491 .
Best Regards,
Andy

Hi
I would say revert the changeset made by the user. There has up to
date been no reply to the changeset discussion by the user in question
so based on lack of engagement I would say that is the best course of
action currently for preserving data integrity.
Regards

Hello,
Andy from OpenStreetMap's Data Working Group here.
A relatively new mapper has merged a number of roads together
which has
caused a few problems - one is that some turn restrictions now don't
make a lot of sense, another is that where detailed tagging had been
added to part of a road, it has now been applied in error to the
whole
road (likely incorrectly).
There's no suggestion that these edits were made in anything other
than
good faith, of course - just that they have caused unanticipated
problems.
Currently, we're trying to figure out the best way to resolve things.
I've commented at
https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/104256975
<https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/104256975> to
ask both the original mapper and someone who's noticed the problem
what
they think is the best way forward. There are a couple of ways
forward:
1) One possibility is to fix everything manually, but as there are
over
1000 changesets to look at, that's a lot of work (and more than
the DWG
would be able to do on their own). Some problems have already been
fixed
by other mappers.
2) Another option is to revert all changesets and look at what has
been
lost, and then re-apply those. Some manual work would also be
needed to
look at things that have changed since these edits.
3) A third option would be like (2) but starting at a later date.
I'm asking on this list as well to try and find out what people think
would be the best way forward. We'll hold off doing anything for
a week
or so to let everyone discuss the best way forward.
Best Regards,
Andy("SomeoneElse" in OSM)
