To all people that is "helping" on the San Salvador, El Salvador Zone, PLEASE stop using Google Street Maps as a reference since GSM has too much errors to make it a reliable source.
A toda la gente que esta "ayudando" en el area de San Salvador, El Salvador, POR FAVOR dejen de usar Google Street Maps como referencia, ya que GSM tiene demasiados errores para ser una fuente fidedigna.
Thank you, Gracias.

Using Google Maps as a reference site is a no-no everywhere, not just in San Salvador.

Yes, please don't contaminate OSM with data from Google Street Maps. It defeats the whole purpose of having a free map if it's no longer free.
Remember that many areas of GSM have map traps (osm.wiki/Copyright_Easter_Eggs) which are errors made on purpose so that the creator of the map can find anyone who copied it.
And like faustolg said, much of Google Street Maps in Latin America is wildly inaccurate. It's the same way in Mexico - street names that are made up or in the wrong place, missing streets, imaginary streets, etc.

Surely it would be against the law to copy from Google Maps?
