OpenStreetMap
From time to time, people point to weird situations they encountered in their mapping. I’m going to collect some of these in this diary entry (and comments).
Traffic signs
In a discussion about traffic signs, the German forum mentions a node with a German traffic sign in France (on a track leading to Germany). As you can see, the reason is a track that starts on the French part but the only destination is back to Germany.

Vielleicht that les Vorschriften for snow in Allemagne sont, dass the Trafficpanneaux for kein Winterdienst on both Ende of the chemin aufgeput must be, and die Personne in charge simplement put ein of these à beide Ends?
