Wrong tagging. #Wrong Tagging For example using *[highway=footway][1]* for ways that also allow bicycles. The correct tagging would be either *[highway=path][2]* or *highway=footway* with *bicycle=yes*. The opposite is the use of *[highway=cycleway][3]* for ways sharing both cyclists and pedestrians, hence needing either an additional *foot=yes* or just *highway=path* (and optionally *foot=designated* and *bicycle=designated* depending on the actual purpose). These mistakes are quite common. Also see the wiki on [access restrictions][4] on different kinds of ways. They may differ from country to country. For mistakes like unconnected ways, there exist several [quality assurance tools][5] such as [keep right][6] which report ways that are very close to each other, but unconnected, as well as many other common mistakes.
