In the long term, this could make OSM useless for motor traffic as there 
is a general policy of decluttering signs.  One of the arguments for 
that is that everyone uses satellite navigators, so they don't need the 
signs.  I think is also used as an argument for why it can take councils 
years to fix missing street name signs.

If OSM relies on on the ground signage, when the authorities rely on 
virtual signage in online maps, it could lose a lot of roads!
