    · Identifying edge cases (e.g. unique sign variations, urban area polygon logic etc.) that may be missed and similarly identifying gaps in algorithms

    · Providing local knowledge insight to prioritize issues (e.g. which missing signs are causing the most problems for road users)

    · Supporting proactive outreach with government and highway authorities to understand upcoming changes, systematic issues with our data etc.

    · Support the partnerships and other outreach teams with local knowledge

    · Consult on all sign types to provide local context/understanding and interpretations of various road signs
