[OSM-talk] Villages with no highways

[Warin]

In Papua New Guinea there are villages without roads ... people there travel by foot, plane or boat!

The terrain is such that vehicle roads, even for bicycles, is impractical.

I don't have detailed knowledge of Africa to say if these villages could be real or not... but I would hesitate to delete them without that knowledge.
Possibly question the original mapper or a mapper active locally or
failing any of that producing results demote them to locality and await a mapper with on ground experience.
