error in OSM? New motorway appeared

0

Hi A new 'motorway' has appeared near Wythenshaw Manchester, UK. It's in the shape of a 'D' and has no roads at it's start or finish. You can see it at: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=14/53.4009/-2.2709

I presume it's been added erroneously

I've deleted it. It looks like it was just an accident ("cat on the keyboard" or similar).

did you have a look at the user's other edits and bookmarked the user's edit list to re-check in some days? Could be a good idea. Or even a short mail?

Their other edits are fine - I dropped them an email to mention what I'd done. Like I said, it just looked like an accident.

… okay, fine! Just wanted to be sure because you did only mention "deleted". :-)
