Agreed. One way to make it more verifiable is to avoid using a broad,
complex description (e.g. "if A or B and usually C...") for a single
tag (jam=yes).
Instead, as I suggested before, clarify what you mean in the tag
itself, e.g. traffic_jam:expected:daily=yes, or
traffic_jam:warning_sign=yes, or traffic_jam:average_delay=10min.

As a mapper I would find those tags MUCH easier to read and easier to
verify than "jam=yes".
