New MapRoulette Challenge: Fix Too Close Junctions in South Africa

Hey OSM South Africa community!

We’ve just launched a brand-new challenge to improve the road network in South Africa::

South Africa – Fix Too Close Junctions: MapRoulette

This challenge focuses on identifying and correcting junctions where roads are mapped too close together—less than 50 cm apart! These tiny segments or near-overlaps can cause problems with navigation, routing, and overall map accuracy.

What you can do:

  • Review and fix the junctions where needed
  • Or simply mark them as “Not an Issue” if everything looks fine

Every small fix brings big improvements to the map!
Let’s work together to clean up South Africa’s road data—one junction at a time!

Happy Mapping,
