Hi Andrew, OSM community Thanks for the message and for asking on suggestions for places to improve road network. We are currently running a research project with flood-prone communities and schools to map local risk perceptions based on the basemap from OSM in the cities of São Paulo and Rio Branco. In Rio Branco (North region) in particular we realised there is quite a lot to do to improve the road network:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/326253#map=14/-9.9773/-67.8386 We did some mapping there and taught school children to map with ID, but the data will certainly needs review. If you guys would do some mapping there we would certainly appreciate, as our project can focus on adding local details to the map with the school children .
