Recently, for lack of any new GPS traces to work on, I've been wandering around various parts of the country looking at the state of the major roads (eg: Western Highway in Vic, Stuart Highway in NT etc.)
A lot of these roads look like they were either traced off Yahoo, or from a single GPS trace about a year and a half ago. In the time since then, many more traces have been uploaded, and suddenly there is substantially better data to work off. I was just thinking that it might be a good time to revisit some of these roads and just clean them up a bit. They kind of get ignored once they are in place (and I don't think the newer users tend to touch the major roads - I didn't for a while when I started). So if you are bored, or want some mindless work on OSM, feel free to re-align some roads... It's funny - I was just re-aligning a section of the western highway in potlatch, and flipping between all traces and only my traces for that road (I've got 3 traces each way). Either there's some widly varying accuracy on the general traces uploaded, or I always drive in the right hand lane going from Melbourne -> Ballarat, and in the left hand lane going from Ballarat -> Melbourne. Given I've got a slow diesel fourby, I doubt I was driving in hte fast line going up those hills towards Ballarat.
