I think the best place would be a new page under the Progress Tracking
heading of our wikiproject page. Perhaps, though, it should simplified
statistics with a date (e.g. RSA has x km of road, of which x% is gravel,
y% is ..., and 53% is unnamed -- 2 Mar 2012).

One thing I would caution is that this type of data has the shelf-life of a
dairy product (maybe the long-life type in this case). Eventually it will
become outdated unless the ubiquitous "they" keeps the wiki up to date.

Durban data was imported from data from the eThikwini (spelling?)
municipality (look under import coordination).

Gauteng is often only from traced aerial imagery, therefore few names
unless somebody on the ground survey's it. People generally trace what
they're interested in, so that probably explains the low road count in
Limpopo. Prince Edward islands are only populated by a few scientists, and
I think they're also declared as nature reserves, hence no infrastructure
at all.

The best way to fix unnamed roads is to get out there and get the data. And
when street signs are missing, urban areas contain many other clues about a
street's name. So with a bit of work it is possible to get the good
majority of names.

Mapping party?

Interesting analysis!  I'd definitely say you should post it to the
wiki, but I have no sensible commentary to contribute.
