[Talk-GB] traffic island mapping / harmful detail? - landuse features and highways

[Jon Pennycook]

Agreed. I have spent far too long unstitching highway/landuse connections
in Hampshire and Isle of Wight, and it is a process that can lead to
dragged nodes.
Similarly, but with less effort, to disconnect fences, hedges, and other
barriers from highways when they actually stop on the verge.
