This past weekend, I made a long road trip. At one point, while in a
highway rest stop, I checked Google Maps to see how far I had come. To my
surprise, it showed me at a different rest stop, about 200 miles from my
actual location. I suspect that my phone couldn't get a good GPS reading,

Non-motorized vehicles refers to vehicles that neither have a motor of
their own or are towed or propelled by a motorized vehicle. Examples would
be horse-drawn carriages, nonmotorized rickshaws, carts pulled by
pedestrians, etc.

Interstate highways (motorways, in UK terms) in the eastern USA often ban
motor-driven cycles, bicycles, and other low-speed traffic. Mopeds are
required to have a governor that limits them to a top speed of 25 miles per
hour. In return, they don't require a driver's license to operate.

Also agreed. The existing latitude/longitude system has the advantage of
being an international standard, supported by hundreds of different maps
and mapping devices, not to mention the GPS satellite system.

The definition of city varies from state to state. In Virginia, for
example, a city is at the same jurisdictional level as a county. It is not
part of a county, even if completely surrounded by the county.

A lot of pharmacies in the USA serve as general merchandise stores, as well

The two-relations approach would also handle any points where the roadway
and stream diverge. For example, if the stream goes over falls, even falls
only a meter high, vehicles will have to diverge onto the bank to go around
the drop-off, not over it.

My experience elsewhere is that shoulders are not considered legal driving
lanes for motor vehicles, except under special circumstances, such as a
construction zone where a normal driving lane has been shut down. People
who try to use the shoulder as a driving lane receive traffic citations.
It would seem that each user would need to provide a checklist of what they
find interesting, unless you restricted it to the most common topics of
interest.

In the case of Nashville, Tennessee, an Interstate bypass, I-440, that
loops about one-third of the way around the city core, deliberately made
use of a no-longer-used railway right-of-way to reduce land purchase costs.
If anyone were to go back and map that railroad now, the entire route would

Not precisely flat, but with very shallow grades, by definition. Regular
railroad engines (as opposed to cog railway engines) can't climb steep
slopes. So, if you are looking for a route without steep grades, a former
railway is a natural choice.

One risk factor that the two-dimensional geometry of OSM won't show is how
a curve is banked. Unbanked curves are common, and I have encountered some
curves that are banked with the low side of the curve towards the outside,
very risky under wet conditions.

In some cases, the navigation path may be different from the named
waterway, such as when locks and canals are used to bypass waterfalls or
rapids. In the case of reservoirs and lakes, some areas may be too shallow
for navigation, so the actual navigation route may not always be the
shortest
The claim that the maps are only for the benefit of Westerners implies that

Yes, I would class this as a rendering error on Craigslist's part, not a
data error on OSM's part. It sounds like the code is checking for the
presence of the oneway tag, where it should be checking for the presence of
oneway=yes.
