Probably people setting their GPS to drop a point every 100m and using 
an editor like JOSM to automatically make an OSM node for each recorded 
point.

It's working very well outside towns. I did it successfully between 
Paris and Rouen (France) with my Forerunner 201 which (alas) only drop 
points in an "intelligent mode" (when the road turn).
