Nanga Rd in WA’s south west has been affected by bauxite mining and

“demolished=yes” to use on it instead ?
Deleting the old alignment is certainly "correct", but if there's still
imagery around that shows the old location then someone might re-add it
by mistake.
I'd suggest instead "demolished:highway=blah" on the old route - it'll
explain to future mappers why it isn't there any more. I'd prefer a
lifecycle tag to "demolished=yes" here because something that wasn't
looking for a "demolished=yes" tag might still think that there was a
road there.
There are some pages in the OSM wiki:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:demolished:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Lifecycle_prefix
(that's the most coherent one)
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Comparison_of_life_cycle_concepts
(that's a bit of a mess)

Andy
