I'll go over what the mapper did in Ireland, which to me is the clearest case of (at least) reckless incompetence (an ill that can be cured through communication, but only with two-way communication): * All motorway under construction marked complete. Including adding amateurish (wrong way, driving on right) stubs to make the pieces connect. * Most long-distance dual-carriageways up-tagged to motorways, including the changing of refs (e.g. N7-M7) * Slip roads on the up-classified sections retagged to motorway (not motorway_link) In all, about 2-200km of road were retagged with no basis whatsoever. I won't imply malice, but if I see a baby with a can of spray paint defacing my house wall I'll act just as quickly as if it were a teenager signing his initials.
