Hello Katie -
This changeset description caught my eye when you mention moving roads.
And I confirmed, you are using bad Bing imagery which shows very poor alignment and correction.
Maybe you would be interested in an almost-identical discussion I am now having with https://openstreetmap.org/changeset/55787946 ?
I can see there is far better aerial imagery for your area both from Mapbox and DigitalGlobe, as one area where you have had to severely move the roads looks to be rather hilly, where Mapbox is photographed from almost straight overhead.
Just an idea to try to keep you from doing too much unneeded or incorrect work...
Thanks! -

Hi! Thanks for the tip. I was not aware of the additional imagery choices. This will help me with adding the rest of the buildings in the area (as well as undo all the road shifts). It looks like Mapbox has the closest reference to what I was shooting for.

Hi,
Yes, Mapbox is the ``best'' but also the oldest, as it matches the ESRI Classic (oops, second time wrong) Clarity imagery provided by Bing here, and what I'm pretty sure the original roads were traced from.
It's a pity I probably can't simply undo your adjustment of each road segment change without losing all other work done.
So, for roadwork, Mapbox is best, also for tracing buildings that still exist unchanged.
For new buildings or new roads, then Bing, after first aligning it in the area you work in to lose the road offset. But in the hilly areas, you will have to repeatedly align the Bing imagery. And then try to see something in the blurry satellite view.
If I understand, the tools to move the background in your iD editor are found in the same place you select the background.
Happy to help save you extra work, and point out the choice between Old But Good, and Newer But Awful.
