[OSM-talk] Mapping Mottram and Tintwistle proposed bypass

[Steve Chilton]

Stephen - Presume you are reasonably local to area mentioned in your
note.

I have often wondered about an artefact at the lower end of the M1:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=51.60727&lon=-0.24076&zoom=17&layers=B
0FT

Labelled as "former M1 junc2".

I have driven down the A41 several times and can see no actual sign of
it as I flash past, but Y! imagery shows it visible on ground.

Google imagery shows it looking much more like a footpath.

Do you (or anyone else) know what is actually on the ground, as I am
sure that having it tagged as motorway is wrong?!

 

Cheers

STEVE

In fact, even more of the new M1 J8 will appear with the weekly update
this week, as I was able to map out the changes to the M1 J8 Southbound
junction last week, and have recorded the start of the new parallel road
on that side too (these parallel roads will run alongside the M1 on both
sides all the way to J7.
