I think the western terminus of R29 is wrong. While the route we have in TM matches Google Maps and Wikipedia’s route description, the RDDA and OSM have R29 ending at Simmonds Street. Signs on Sauer Street (one block west of Simmonds) match this latter terminus, pointing toward R41 westbound on Anderson and R29 eastbound on Marshall.
RisSt: M9 north of R29 follows Harrison Street and Rissik Street, so this point should be moved west one block to Loveday Street and renamed M9_N.
Missing a point at Eloff Street for M9_S.
Consider adding a point where R29 turns onto John Page Dr.
JulSt: Should be M14.
Ben: Should be ChiSt.
KraRd: Where did you get this label from? It should probably be StaRd.
CemRd: Should be M53.
M59: According to Wikipedia, M59 ends a few miles to the north at its junction with M37, and what OSM has labeled as M59 is actually M37. I found an M37 shield at Lazarus Malewa Road along M57, but none near R29. If Wikipedia is correct, M37 runs concurrently with R29 west to Stanley Road (which is currently lacking a point) and then turns south. However, the RDDA does not list any junction with any route between M39 and R21.
MainRd: Should be MainSt.
M44: Should be FieRd.
BenRd: Should be ModBRd.
WelRd: Should be R555.
WitsRd: Should be WitRd.
WilSt: Doesn’t it make more sense to put a point Fryer Road, one block to the east?
+X384427: You could swap this for a visible point at this road signed for Grootpan without moving it much.
R30:
+X779392: You could swap this for a visible point at this road signed for Boons without moving it much.
You could break up a 14.44-mile stretch with no visible points between R509 and D826 by adding one at this road signed for Welverdiend.
+X640008: You could swap this for a visible point at this road signed for Kilpplaatdrift without moving it much.
+X232845: You could swap this for a visible point at this road signed for Ratzegaaiskraal without moving it much.
IngAve: Ingle Street has been closed at R30. You could move the point to Fabriek Street one block north or Leemhuis Street about 2.4 miles south.
MilAve: Should be AusRd.
You could break up a 22.51-mile stretch with no visible points between R76 and R59_E by adding one at S723.
R70: We might have the wrong northwestern terminus of R70. Wikipedia says R70 ends at the roundabout on Church Street in Odendaalsrus, but the signs at that roundabout don’t mention R70, only R34. Signs at the southeastern end of the concurrency we have in TM have R70 only going southeast, and there are no signs for R70 at the interchange with R30. However, the RDDA and OSM have the route currently in TM. If R70 gets truncated, this point should be renamed HosWy.
+X214518: Could be replaced by a visible point at this road just to the north, which used to be signed for Port Allen.
ZRMahHwy_N: Should be R730.
Lus: Signed for Masilo.
You could break up a 23.79-mile stretch with no visible points by adding one at S500.
+X807701: Could be replaced by a visible point at S405.
Glen: Should be S392.
R31:
KooPan: This isn’t a road, and there are no roads nearby. Is there a reason this point exists?
+X293379: R31 has a new alignment here that no longer passes through this point. You could replace it with a visible point at D3335.
R31 briefly leaves the red lines on the waypoint editor between R380_N and Hot.
Hot: Should be PepLn.
+X447456: Could be replaced with a visible point without moving it much.
I think we’re missing a point for R372 between N14 and Kono. While the RDDA says R372’s western terminus is at N14 in Kagung, Wikipedia says the route turns left to go to R31. R372 is signed from R31 but not from N14.
You could break up a 30.68-mile stretch with no visible points between Kono and Dan with a point at D3403. I think a point here would be more important than one at most other middle-of-nowhere roads because Wonderwerk Cave (a tourist attraction of international significance – it contains the oldest known evidence of hominins using controlled fire) is about 25 miles north of Dan, so any tourists travelling from the south would miss out on all that mileage. (There is an argument to be made that a point should be placed at Wonderwerk Cave’s entrance road instead of/in addition to D3403.)
Dan: Should be LeoSt.
R385: Should this be ToR385? The RDDA says R385 intersects with R31, which is not possible unless R385 has a spur off the main route.
Koo_N: It appears that there is a new R373.
+X489748: Could be replaced by a visible point here called Lon.
