<div dir="ltr">I believe at some point there was, or at least there was discussion of implementing, a way to mark areas where the aerial imagery is out-of-date. Unfortunately I'm drawing a blank on any further development from there, but that would seem to be the best solution all-around (having cleaned up a similar issue in my area a few weeks ago).<div>

<br>
also, Mike N had suggested highway:disused. instead, maybe<br>
something like highway:removed=yes would work.<br>
<br>
i'd recommend highway:removed over highway=removed<br>
because some rendering engines will display a line for<br>
highway=removed, but ignore highway:removed because<br>
they don't recognize the tag. a local mapper here in Albany<br>
had added highway=proposed for a few proposals dating<br>
back to the 50s and 60s that will never be built. i changed<br>
them to highway=unbuilt, but that didn't make them go<br>
away, so they are now all highway:unbuilt=motorway (or<br>
whatever.) i left them in so they didn't get put back in using<br>
inappropriate tagging.<br>
