all,</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">I was
recently working on some
local proposals and, through
taginfo, saw some recent
spikes in the use of the non
approved and discouraged use
of the road key (should be
highway).<br clear="none">
The spikes, due to their
amount and short time-frame
in which they appear seem to
be indicating unnoticed mass
or automated edits.<br
clear="none">
Do they need closer
attention / investigation
and action to revert ?<br
clear="none">
</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">1. Jan
2017 - spike of +-500, seems
to be reverted by +-300 by
Mar 2017<br clear="none">
2. Mar 2019 - spike of
+-400, not reverted<br
clear="none">
3. Sep/Okt 2020 to Feb 2021
- spike of +-800, not
reverted and continuing at a
worrying rate</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">These 3
spikes together make up 3/4
of the total use cases of
the road key.<br
clear="none">
</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Would
appreciate some help with
taginfo / overpass trubo /
other tools to get more
insight on the phenomena.</font></p>
