[talk-au] [EXTERNAL] Re: Low quality road classification contributions in SA via Microsoft Open Maps Team - contact point?

Nemanja,
   Thank you for improving the mapping of Australian roads and tracks. I
have reviewed 1649 unclassified roads that have been added in South
Australia and I believe over 1500 are private driveways, farm access or
roads that have been decommissioned. I have significant concern that an
active army barracks has had access=all created for all internal roads and
there is the possibility of routing through the barracks. Similar to some
biohazard facilities which are used for testing on crops. How would you
like the list to be provided to you and how can we have these fixed
urgently and finally how do we improve the mapping?

    During the bushfire season, we do not want a family thinking that a
driveway that goes nowhere is the correct path to take and it would be
fantastic to have this resolved in the next month or so.
