<div>Welcome to the list, and a special welcome from me as I notice you're doing quite a lot of work in Bristol - I recently wrote about the number of 'missing' roads in Bristol in OSM - have a look through the archives, and then see <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Tiiiim#Bristol_-_Missing_Roads">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Tiiiim#Bristol_-_Missing_Roads</a>. PM or email me if you have any questions about this or OSM in general....<br>

Hi everyone, I'm new to all this, only joining the group yesterday, so I<br>
think I'm positing to the discussion correctly. If not, let me know.<br>
<br>
That aside, is the aim to investigate all red boxes and typically add the<br>
road?<br>
<br>
Also, with regards to the green boxes that show near matches, any chance you<br>
could say why it's a near match i.e. is it the spelling of the road name,<br>
classification, or possibly the location of the road.<br>

In many cultures, green is considered a sign of "good", "OK", or<br>
"everything's fine". You can see this usage for instance in our traffic<br>
lights. Hence a green OSL entry -> one that's fine.<br>
<br>
Facetiousness aside, I am going to add a non-authoritative mode which shows<br>
bad matches first, but I still think it's important to show _all_ OSL<br>
entries in authoritative mode. I have tried to tone down the "near perfect"<br>
matches to be less "bright green" but they can still appear quite bright<br>
when there are many overlapping.<br>

<br>
Nightly with the odd extra update in the daytime if I want to try something<br>
out.<br>
