Is it a detour to be used while the Interstate highway is under repair? For when the mainline is closed due to emergency, in locations where this is prone to happen regularly or when an interstate would need excess capacity to handle evacuation volume. Typically forms a loop between two junctions on adjacent parallel routes that becomes a one way loop in case of emergency closure or add extra lanes when all available routes go away from a disaster. One such example exists along Oregon's I5 corridor. Intersections that are traversed by the emergency route are closed to cross traffic in most cases, and locations where the route turns at a junction typically have a ramp to straighten out what would otherwise be a tight turn, usually gated such that the ramp is inaccessible under normal circumstances but becomes the only way through when it's operating as the interstate. ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us

Filled in what I could. I'd suggest a good starting place for people
looking to see if routes are complete is to use the
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Interstate_Highways_Relations
links, particularly the relation checker ("check" links) - directional
relations should be in one piece, bidirectional relations should be in
two pieces. But I'd also recommend loading the relation into JOSM and
checking to be sure all the ways are properly attributed - sometimes
the motorway tag got redacted, for example. Missing ref tags and
oneway tags are also pretty common.
Also, http://map.project-osrm.org/ is useful for finding bits that
don't connect up right, although it's usually 24-48 hours behind the
live map. And sometimes it routes weirdly (for example, routes
through Toledo used to like driving across downtown rather than
staying on I-75) because there are map "shortcuts" that are really
signal-infested slogs - usually that's fixable by going into the map
and just adding all the missing traffic signals (usually pretty easy
to spot from the aerials at high zoom), although an eventual field
survey to tag the speed limits would be nice too.
