For example there seems to be a large number of Zebra pedestrian crossings in rural Africa so unfortunately I suspect its a finger problem. iD does a very good job of guiding people but its very difficult to make anything idiot proof, they keep evolving and finding new ways to cause chaos.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small">I just correct the very obvious ones when I see them. JOSM validation crossing highways is good for spotting them by the way.<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small">Cheerio John<br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div><div class="h5">On 18 June 2017 at 11:31, David Earl <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:david@frankieandshadow.com" target="_blank">david@frankieandshadow.com</a>></span> wrote:<br></div></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div class="h5"><div dir="ltr">Is there something people can do too easily and inadvertently in iD which leads to a problem if they don't spot they've done it?

The visual result is a road or building ends up with a long narrow spike in it.<div><br></div><div>In both cases, from the changeset comments, it doesn't look like either of them were even trying to edit the particular feature in question - they were doing something quite unrelated.</div><div><br></div><div>What I'm wondering is if there is perhaps some gesture, like panning the map, which can end up dragging a node which dropped onto another node connects them. If you're rapidly panning perhaps you may not notice you picked up a node? Is this possible? Is there some other scenario that could lead to this accidentally? I can understand one mistake, but two so very similar accidents by different people looks suspicious.</div><span class="m_6839500330887439060HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div><br></div><div>David</div><div><br></div></font></span></div></div>
