(replying to Zeke and Chris both) I agree that if there is only 1 mile of motorway class road among trunk-class road that tagging it motorway isn't useful. The parts of Route 2 that I was thinking of tagging as motorway are physically indistinguishable from an interstate, and at least 10 miles l

Chris, After looking at the satellite imagery of Mass Route 2, I definitely agree that it should be a trunk road for most of the way with sections of Motorway. I think it's physical characteristics by themselves fit these classifications. Thats a good point about Motorways being completely unsui

Greg, It makes sense to me to reserve the Motorway classification for roads that are consistently divided with limited access, and grade separated interchanges. It also makes sense to me to reserve the Primary classification for roads that are not limited access, have same grade intersections (st

[Talk-us] directions of ways in MassGIS data

2009-02-01 Thread Greg Troxel
In Massachusetts osm has state GIS data, and a number of the 1-way ways are the wrong direction. This is particularly obvious for divided highways, e.g. Rt 2 inside 128, 495 near Rt 2. Clearly I could go edit these manually. But I wonder if there is automated way to fix this, perhaps by going b
