As noted there are some tools available to help find potential errors that
effect routing. Have a look on the QA page [1], specifically at keepright,
OSM Inspector and MapDust. As for editing OSM and proposing new tags,
OpenStreetMap works a bit like wikipedia - we have a very flat structure
and work together as a community to tackle issues such as whether new tags
are needed or not. Discussions can get a little bit lengthy, but I believe
we end up with a better solution in the end.

Error reporting would definitely be a challenge.Are there existing
facilities to add "suspect" type tags to enable OSM itself to be the
primary reporting medium? I haven't looked into the details of editing
OSM data but adding new tags seems to require a collective decision.
(BTW don't get too excited anyone, this is definitely a long-term
project).

Hi Tim,
I expect that you would find a good appetitie to fix any problems if we
can see that this will be highly valued (ie used in a great tool), and
the bug reports are simple to understand. I'll leave comments about the
quality to others, suffice to say that in the Midlands the roads and
junctions are mapped well, however turn restrictions are the missing
component.
Regards,
Rob
