The results of application will depend on both the original data and

rectangular, or rhomboid layouts, the results will be generally good.
For curved roads with poor original TIGER geometry, I would expect the
result to be very irregular without manual correction. I've seen
this type of road network in very hilly or mountainous areas.
this level of mis-alignment is common in Upstate NY:

the example is from Warren County. i've seen worse in West Virginia and
Arizona.
Ideally, all the new street data should be reviewed before bringing it
in; depending on the origin, most of it needs to have the alignment
tweaked and connectivity verified against Bing Aerials.
It would be nice to be able to view the results in JOSM before
uploading them, even if another tool is used for upload; I'm not sure
how to do that.
if the results are in an osm xml format, then JOSM can just load it up.
i like the idea, but there needs to be a manual quality control step so
we don't make
things worse while trying to make them better.
