I love this idea, especially if it could be backed up with a "single
serving" editing UI, a way editor specifically tailored to the
modification of a single length of road. It'd be an interesting way to
fund the project, actually: accept donations that go into an MTurk
pool, or just provide the editing UI and instructions like Andy's
below to anyone who wants to see a particular set of roads fixed up.
Sometimes it's just as fast to fix a road as it is to figure out that
a road needs fixing, which is a challenge.

I've seen a couple articles [1] online about how easy it is to use
Mechanical Turk to have people do simple tasks and pay them in small

to align a way's worth of TIGER data with Yahoo imagery.
Can you guys think of any other ideas to use Mechanical Turk for OSM?
