[OSM-talk-be] road completion project

[Marc Gemis]

I've tried a couple of "tasks".
I found it pretty hard to fill in the proper road type without being
familiar with the local situation.
The fact that Wegenregister adds a name to each and every long drive
way is not going to help with the OSM data quality.

So I gave up and went back to processing my surveys.
