The trifecta of tools I use are geofabrik, KeepRight[1], and ItoWorld[2]. The KeepRight doubled places check box may work. I have several boxes checked. It is amazing how many things you actually break without intending to do so. Each of the tools has advantages or different perspectives of the problem. If I get bored with a theme of features that I am mapping, I will often switch to one these to tools. Some of the problems are nice mental challenges. ItoWorld is nice for several reasons but I don't think ItoWorld will answer you question. One, ItoWorld has a great TIGER fixup map. Two, where cartographers display the same road work over and over again, there's some maps that show interesting data that mappers have mapped. Seeing your work displayed is more inspiring that hearing about how a data consumer will use the data. Oh to have a the useful Tiles@Home butt ugly rendering back! Tiles@Home = a mapper's map but I digress.
