In Taginfo I searched for the key, got a long list with all
kinds of keys containing the word "road", then selected just
"road" from the list returned by taginfo.<br>

<p><font face="Verdana">Dear 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>
The spikes, due to their amount and short time-frame
in which they appear seem to be indicating unnoticed
mass or automated edits.<br>
Do they need closer attention / investigation and
action to revert ?<br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">1. Jan 2017 - spike of +-500,
seems to be reverted by +-300 by Mar 2017<br>
2. Mar 2019 - spike of +-400, not reverted<br>
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>
</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>
