I've experienced the same thing as Philip around Islington and Hackney
- also looking down towards the City I see the same problem there too
- namely segments that bear no relation to any existing roads,
zigzagging in weird abitrary ways - clearly not made by a human
mapper.......

At one point I considered deleting all the segments in my area not
already in ways and starting from scratch....... I didn't do this as I
thought someone would see the list of deletes and assume I was a
vandal..... So I deleted some, moved others etc.

But still, these segments don't help anyone! I don't know who made
them but they are not helping anybody!
