Hi Peter,
I noticed the same thing in parts of Sydney (people creating new ways for a bus
route). You are right the bus route probably should be set up as a relation,
comprising of existing ways so maybe contact the user who created them and ask
if they object to you improving on their input

The interpolation way opposite Blows Lane is split (see break from

My only question is - when is it safe to click the Done button? Is
it just for the definition and connection of the geometry of streets

for adding names and other stuff from the locals. In any case in the end

Nick, you've obviously put a lot of thought into this and I trust your

I think removing the boundaries sooner rather than later will make the

A nice side effect could be to further promote OSM within the

Very interesting. It shows that this style of simplified system map is far
superior to convey route and network information.
