KeepRight is a data consistance and quality assurance tool for OSM. It’s been around for years and years (since at least 2009). I used it ages ago and forgot about it. But it’s still around, still updating, still checking OSM. Some of the checks don’t make sense everywhere, so use your head and mark things as false positives if needed. If you’re looking for some mapping & gardening, open it up, have a look at an area and fix up the map.

I was a little annoyed previously at all of keepright’s false positives, but actually, if I’m willing to sort through a few of them, there are a lot of really useful errors being caught.

I was a little annoyed previously at all of keepright’s false positives,

IME most of them that I see in Ireland are not false positives. You can turn on/off each check, so things like “open polygon” are nearly always a problem, and then only work on specific problems. If you turn off checks which are unhelpful in your area, then you’ll reduce the false positives you see.
