Finland might have fewer but more careful mappers.  Or we have simpler
roads (fewer turn restrictions and roundabouts).  I think that they started
building roundabouts in cities some 10 to 20 years ago.  Before that,
there were few but very large roundabouts (driveable at 60+ km/h).

There were only a few dozen problematic roundabouts (wrong direction,
forking).  The turn restriction relation errors (again a few dozen) were
obvious, except for one, which consisted of seven 'to' ways (the same way
split to seven segments) and no other roles.  I wrote to the culprit,
and he fixed it.  (Potlatch and the rarity of turn restrictions in that
area were to blame.)

How was the saying, "the more, the merrier"? Or was it "more cooks make
a worse soup"? :-)
