Motorway junction numbers in cyprus are nationally unique, e.g. there is onely one J1 on the island.

Some of the junctions on the the A3 are not done due to inadequate satellite data in the potlatch editor. Junctions on the A1, A5, A6 and the A9 are completed.

"E/F" Roads (Secondary/Tertiary)

Currently there seems to be no consistant guidline for determininng when to tag as secondary and when as tertiary.

Places

the town of Larnaca is heavily under mapped and contains a lot of mistakes. Someone who knows Larnaca should start working on it.

Although the whole city is now mapped, Limassol's streets are unnamed. Some work has been done, but a lot more must take place...

A quite good level of development. The western and Southern suberbs need some work.

A good level of development. More attention should be given to the Northern suberbs.

Border

Troodos region

Because the lack of detailed satellite images in the Troodos mountains the potlatch editor is completely useless. It is required that someone with GPS accessibility to map the area. The B8 and the B9 main roads in the area are now accurate. A lot of progress has been made in the Pitsillia, Marathasa and Koumandaria regions. Some work still required within the Paphos forest, and more work in Northern Limassol.

Bing imaginary seems to cover parts of Cyprus where Yahoo has no coverage. However, they seem to have some offset so you should allign images with gps traces first.

Some maps

here are some maps that could help us naming the roads... lakatamia.org.cy latsia.org.cy --Gavrilis 09:52, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
