Today's fun with OpenStreetMap and route planners: A route planner for Denmark that refuses to drive on roads named after men.
About 40,000 Danish roads (= 35 % af all Danish roads) have been tagged with name:etymology:wikidata to tag into Wikidata's structured content.
Other ideas for funny restrictions? Roads named after politicians of specific political parties? Roads named after royals? (¡Viva la revolución!) Roads named after Swedes?

in reply to MapComplete • • •@MapComplete Yeah, I have been using MapComplete excessively for the last 1½ year for that exact purpose, creating thousands of entries in Wikidata as well and updating most of the ways that now have this tag 🙂 Thank you for an excellent service!

in reply to Peter Brodersen • • •Yeah, I know. You are (together with some others) one of the big drivers for 'number of changes' in the statistics.
Btw, the etymology theme was a bit of an afterthought itself. I (@pietervdvn) created the Wikidata-link item for a different theme. A bit later, I realized it wouldn't be much hassle the setup an etymology thing to help equalstreetnames.

in reply to Pietervdvn • • •@pietervdvn Yes, 40.000 individual streets when aggregated locally and grouped by municipalities. In OSM terms it's about 160.000 ways, but MapComplete helps group local ways together.
I have been to the library a lot for the last two years.
