This seems a common enough occurrence that a TIGER data should not be
used as permanent source. It's only there to get the map started and
adjustments from TIGER are required.
The "TIGER challenges" began as a way to fill in all the new
subdivisions in areas with no other public data. It has been very
effective for those areas. TIGER continues to evolve and improve in
its own way, and is suitable as a reference when there is no better
public data.
>> The wrong Tuppe Drive still has a "source" tag which is now misleading.
It's not really misleading, as that is still where it came from.
Does 'it' refer to the geometry, the current or former name, the
classification as residential (current) or service (previous)? What if
the road has to be split in the future?
Use the source tag and include a date of the survey. This won’t
directly stop an overwrite, but will at least give a date to compare
against.
It seems the whole issue stems from an automatic edit without proper
integration.

I don't see these as automated edits; they are automated detection of
possible places to improve the map. If the challenges are built with
the latest data, the problem of disagreeing challenges goes away.
