Upon activation for Mali in early 2013, we had had to trace the road network in 
sandy areas. Our African colleagues familiar with these conditions at the rainy 
season where the drivers go in all directions to avoid the ruts, leave traces 
that resemble spaghetti. 

For mapping Kayes, Task 711, I see this same situation. When you trace the road 
netwrok, you need to think about what is important to represent among all the 
traces that you see. If a driver avoids the center of the road and set a new 
trace, then a second, third, etc. or another takes a shortcut, we should not 
represent all these derivations on the map. 

See the example below where the too many traces resembles to spaghetti. Be 
careful and retain what is significant.
