[Talk-ng] MapRoulette challenges in Nigeria - help fix road data

[Andrew Wiseman]

Hi everyone, Andrew from Apple here, we recently updated the MapRoulette road challenges in Nigeria with new OSM data, so there are lots of new issues to fix. If you haven't tried it yet, Crossing Roads is a good place to start. All the challenges are here: https://maproulette.org/browse/projects/39482

Thanks!

I put them all in a project so you can see the latest ones here: https://maproulette.org/browse/projects/39482

We recently used our Atlas data analysis tool (https://github.com/osmlab/atlas <https://github.com/osmlab/atlas>) to look at a few types of potential issues related to roads and routing, such as roads that have overly sharp angles, roads that cross but don't connect, routing problems, turn restrictions, places where navigation is impossible due to missing connections or potentially incorrect one-way roads, and other similar issues.

I wanted to let you know they are available in case others wanted to try fixing some of them — I also plan to go through some of them myself.
