May I suggest that the clean way to deal with the data in OSM is to
basically remap the roads using Bing and the JOSM or whatever plugin
so the data is labelled as coming from Bing. Bing is available and it
would give a much more consistent and accurate map than OSM currently is.
Is this a wind up? What makes you think Bing is accurate? Bing is 12
(twelve) years old here.
Ideally I'd do it on a new layer so that the older stuff could just be
switched out.
I think the idea of running round with GPSes and using the traces of
dubious accuracy or tracing from satellite images is really a bit
dated these days.
You certainly need to align Bing imagery so you do need to "run around
with a GPS" to make any sense of the Bing imagery. The last time I
looked Bing doesn't have any names on it, speed limits, access
restrictions ...
Sorry, this really must be a wind up that I've risen to.
