[Talk-us] Maximum number of tasks on US tasker

[Paul Johnson]

Depends on the situation, I don't mess with it if I don't know the area
that well, but if I'm vaguely familiar with maintenance norms in the area
and the context of the road, I'll tag the lanes as best I can if it's
likely still being maintained as a multilane road, but if it's been
downgraded to something without lanes and they're letting it go, I'll tag
that accordingly.
