There are huge numbers of these around Australia. I think a lot of them are caused by people who originally traced the ways from imagery, and didn't make sure that the ways connected up properly (or at all, in some cases). It's gotten to the point where every time I edit an area to add names, etc the first thing I do is run an error check (I use JOSM) and fix as many as possible from the data I have. Otherwise when I get to the point of checking my own edits, they're swamped in other problems. > I wonder why these don't show up in Keepright with the "almost-junctions" > check? Maybe it's "almost" is closer than you might expect, or perhaps it's just buggy. Or there's so many errors it runs out before finishing the check?
