How is this an import?? > While not quite what you intended, I believe you do illustrate a major sore point with building the routes simply from whatever documentation will/is supplied. It skips actually verifying the individual segments on the ground which is part of providing a high quality route (signed or not) in OSM. It is something that I would be very wary of doing in areas where we have a consistent road network and definitely will lead to GIGO in the states.
To put it differently: if the import was combined with systematic surveying of the routes by OSM contributors instead of them just sitting at their desk then it would be a lot more palatable.
