Why not do some thing that prevents the way to go overlapping in the first place, something like an elastic band thing. Until the location is correct, the direction follows the mouse but waits until a non cross. This could also be a good thing for polygons that self intersect. I think this newbee editor should basically get layers, and not be some free form editor. Clearly get a user in the direction: "You are now editing the road system" (Leaving all other data readonly) or "You are now editing PoI's".
