I've been watching edits come in today and I see good work being done on interstates, especially in the LA area. It isn't the most fun work to do so thanks to everyone who is pitching in. I ended up finishing the cleanup on I-105. It's just a short one so that's not really a huge feat.
To make dealing with relations easier, I tended to extend existing ways and then split them so that the editor took care of all the relation memberships for me. So for example, extending a bridge to meet up with the the next segment and then splitting the way and removing the bridge and layer tags from the new piece I had just drawn. I also ended up doing some reimporting from TIGER 2011 in the Irvine area because some neighborhoods that were just too far gone to bother salvaging. For example here is a "before" shot of one area: http://i.imgur.com/pEuIm.jpg (and actually, a couple of those roads are already fixed. I happened to have a P2 instance open after I had uploaded the new stuff from JOSM and P2 picked up some of the new roads before I grabbed the screen shot) Here is the current view: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=33.60425&lon=-117.81902&zoom=15 I decided to follow my previous TIGER remapping strategy[1] and it worked out fairly well. Some of the neighborhoods were gated communities so they only had 2 or 3 roads connecting out to the rest of the network. This made it very easy to remove the existing garbage and import one section at a time. It's a lot more complicated to do a reimport in an area with a regular grid pattern of roads because there are so many more external connections to make. If you come across such horribly misshapen areas and feel that it is a good candidate for a reimport, feel free to send me a message and I see what I can do, time permitting.
