Hi John, Happy to know someone is taking care of fixing Africa highways. FWIW, we use osmlint [0] to detect common geometry errors, these detected errors are then fed into to-fix [1]. Some of the detectors are related to highways [2].
Happy to support people or teams in Africa if this is worthwhile to do.
