Sorry to drag this up again, but I wonder if anyone around Lincoln could confirm the status of the A15? It got changed by RR8 from Primary to Trunk as part of the series of edits referred to above (the ways concerned are 29480041, 29480046, 5042808, 29520168, 29520045, 29480048, 29480047, 29479263, 29479262, 29462340, 29462344, 29460689, 29460690, 29457824, 29457818, 29457821, 5042796, 5042797, 5038270, 3713242, and 3708395). Can anyone confirm whether it should be primary or should be trunk? Also, the stretch of the A57 from the A1 to Lincoln needs looking at. The ways include 13781670, 38366466, 13781669, 35580773, 35577435, 23160625, 13781668 and a few others. In places it's been changed to the A158 - I've no idea if that's correct (but based on the "hit rate" of other RR8 edits is unlikely to be). Also, the Tritton Road area of Lincoln (ways 5052965, 5052933, 5038112, 3713127, 3713110 among others), and the changes to the A607 and B1178.
