[OSM-talk] Motorways on wikipedia

[Andy Robinson]

The cbrd (www.cbrd.co.uk) and SABRE (www.sabre-roads.org.uk) websites have
been around for a number pf years. Chris Marshall (crbd) collects info that
people send into him. SABRE is more of a community site.

Both are valuable sources of general information about the road network in
the UK but need to be careful about data when used in OSM itself as much of
what are on these sites has almost certainly in part been derived from other
sources.

Cheers

Andy
