Adding points to a way

I have several roads that used to have some rather long straight lengths to them and the TIGER data had very few points along the the way. Road revisions in the last ten years changed the road to folow the contours of the hills and avoid wash outs. Is it possible to add additional points to an existing way so I can properly follow the new route or do I need to delete the current way and create a new one?

Re: Adding points to a way

Yes, you can do that. The "how to" depends on which editor you use.

I mainly use Potlatch too. Select the way and shift-click to add points to the way.

There's a guide to Potlatch keyboard shortcuts on the wiki.
