   Assuming that there is less than 100% mapping of all common 
attributes in your area:

  Start in your neighborhood: are all speed limits entered?  Turn 
restrictions? One way streets? -> those would be good to collect with 
Mapillary or as a passenger in a vehicle.

   Have addresses been imported?  If not, and your county has a 
restricted data license, it may be a long time if ever before addresses 
can be imported.   In that case, practice entering the address of every 
building where you routinely travel; restaurants, stores, work, etc.

   Otherwise, just start moving out into nearby towns or places you have 
lived or visited previously.
