We already have Scout reporting routing errors as notes why not encourage
users to report routing errors using a note? We may not be able to correct
those where the routing engine refuses to use tracks to reach a destination
but we should be able to fix turn restrictions, unconnected ways, correct
access permissions for bikes, etc.

The problem is where to place the instructions to leave a note. Ideally it
wouldn't show until the user created a route. I wonder if the group that
implemented routing on osm.org considered this in their design?

Alternatively, the user could report the problem on the help tab of OSM.
Personally I like notes for their persistence.
