<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>
<p><font face="Verdana">Greetings,</font></p>
