What I've observed is that MapRoulette works well with tasks that are highly localized and don't require much thinking. "A road crosses a railroad here: should it be a crossing, or a bridge?" is a good MapRoulette task, because unusual situations are rare, and the user doesn't need to consider

Martijn, When I looked at the problem of un-reviewed roads in Washington State, I considered two approaches. First, use a Tasking Manager to break the state into smaller chunks. Looking at the map of the US, Washington State doesn't seem all that large. But when you get into breaking the state

I get that, for the most part, MapRoulette does have a overwhelmingly positive benefit, the lanes challenge seemed quite underbaked. The end result was the majority of ways in Oklahoma that had lane tagging added by way of MR users were not split where the number of lanes changes, two way roads
