<p>Quite a lot of car parks and other roads have one way arrows visible on the bing imagry, often the position of speedlimits are available too, although this might just be a uk only tendancy. Certainly helps in completing places I have visited without a gps and pen/paper. Then again I have only been doing stuff I have some knowledge of.</p>

Please tag roads derived from aerial imagery as<br>

so it is clear what kind of information about the road we have (mainly<br>
the position as it appeared in a several year old orthographic photo).<br>
