Just reading this:

While people still continue to map garbage like these intersections:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-37.882577&lon=145.276362&zoom=18
then people will not want to use osm data at all.
It's not immeditately apparent on the map but load it into josm or
potlatch and look at all the non existant ways, reversed direction
ways and just plain wrong ways.

Gday Ross -
Good news is there are mappers out there who'd love the challenge of
fixing this intersection up, so instead of letting this bring you
down, I think a better idea is to report this on openstreetbugs. The
Melbourne region is 'clean' of bugs which to me indicates either
nobody reports them, or somebody does a great job at fixing them.
Also I read somewhere that OSM encourages contributors to "be bold
when it comes to fixing others mistakes", so I wouldn't hesitate to
dive in and get your hands dirty if you're keen.
Cheers,
Ben
PS - my first post to the list. Please forgive me if I've not followed
