It looks like you've picked Exeter - a place I was also considering looking at when chance permits. There is other imagery besides Bing, at least in GB; OS Opendata and OS Locator for example. Just remember to add source:name tags so they can be later checked by a survey. You will unfortunately lose the "not:name" tags if those ways are amongst those that need replacing. Or if you leave the names off, then the roads will appear in the ITO analysis tool[1] in a day or so and someone else can add the names (again with suitable source:name tags) if they feel so inclined.
