[Talk-us] County borders auto-fixup?

[Russ Nelson]

Has anybody played with Cloudmade's routing system?  It can't route  
across the St. Lawrence County border on US-11.  Instead of sending  
you the short way, it sends you up into Canada and around.  Very close  
to the county border, there are two coincident nodes, one in St.  
Lawrence County and the other in Franklin County.  I've fixed them by  
hand, but there seems to be some amount of latency before the  
Cloudmade data gets refreshed / rebuilt.

My question is: oughtn't we be able to automagically merge two  
coincident nodes which are connected to two ways with the same road  
name on them?

I can think of examples where that might not be perfect.  But I'd be  
happier if the data was much less imperfect.
