The limitation is generally licensing. Openstreetmap can accept an import of data that is freely licensed, but the criteria for "freely" are fairly strict - most Canadian cities' "open data" don't meet it. If you're familiar with Creative Commons, the license will likely have to be as free or more free as cc-by-sa. In particular, a lot of Canadian open data licenses have indemnification clauses which rule them out as sources.
Otherwise, if you're familiar with the area you can try editing the roads manually - there is a number of satellite imagery sources which has been approved for tracing in OSM, and you can use personal knowledge as source for things like road surfaces or widths. --Jarek On Fri, Jun 26, 2020, 13:55 Jason Carlson, <ja...@starlandcounty.com> wrote: > I noticed a number of roads in our county are incorrect in our area (as > are most rural areas with next to no population).
