Pick one:
a) The Mapper got lazy and did not map the road detail.
b) the 'road' has many tracks and picking one of them was too hard for the Mapper.
c) the Render smoothing algorithm malfunctioned.
(Mapper - person who puts the data into the data base. Render - person/organization/program who takes the data and 'draws' the map.)
Principle: If two points are joined by a line there should be a road there. If there is no road then there should be no line.
I've made a few straight lines in OSM. I know there is a 'road' there .. but it cannot be seen from the satellite view. I'm not likely to go back there due to current restrictions so a straight line is as good as I can do. I trust the user to 'see' there the straight line is an indication of the road and not the absolute truth.
