Wierd looking streets, what to do?

The particular user has been reported to vandalize in other areas as well. Consequently, I removed his contributions in the Medicine Hat, CA area in changeset: 14807402.

Have a good week anyone and happy mapping.

Dear Greg

“However, anyone of any level of experience will make mistakes.”

Yes, that is true and I do not exclude myself from it. I introduced a ton of mistakes while mapping myself.

Indeed Keepright is a very valuable tool to fix stuff as connectivity errors. However, I think that sometimes it is better to just leave an obvious error as it is rather than correcting it the wrong way (for instance if no visual reference is available). I think that is true for the case I describe here and that is why I ask for more info.

Thank you for your comment.

Thank you for your help.

The Bing imagery was taken on 2010-06-23 and Yorii added the streets on 2011-07-15, so it could very well be than these streets were built between these two dates. I’ll have to investigate further and ask on mailing-lists if someone has imagery or lives around there.

Cheers, Leuty

PS: source=* tags ftw!

Thank you for the suggestions. I wrote to the user and I will check on the age of the images tomorrow.

How can I get the date when a particular node was added within JOSM?

I'd say do whatever mood you are into at the moment you unpack your GPS or open your editor is best. One day it is adding a street, another day adding a village node or a tree. We won't tell you "do this and that". Fun is the #1 goal of this project. Have a good day and welcome to OSM!
