I haven't seen any of the data for any place that I'm personally
familiar with. I have, however, seen all the different things that
were to be surveyed, and a lot of it is exactly the kind of thing that
we'd normally collect. Some of the things that would be useful but is
generally unsurveyed in OSM - such as lighting status of paths, or
widths of cycle lanes - would be quite interesting to add into OSM.

I'd expect the DfT data to have stuff we have, have stuff we don't,
and to miss out stuff we have too!
