[Talk-us] Last word on named driveways

[Charlotte Wolter]

Hello all,

After my inquiries about the rash of named driveways in 
Campbell County, Virginia--these are driveways that end of with the 
name of the street they intersect--I finally got  a reply from the 
county GIs director (pasted in below). He says inequivocally that it 
is a TIGER issue, not a local one. Probably no surprise. I know 
opinions vary on TIGER.
He also add a couple of data souces, his own county and the 
state of Virginia, that could be useful.
I sent this to TIGER and asked that they update us on any 
fixes for this.

Hello,
From your description, it sounds like you are looking at Census, TIGER
data.  Census adds these names to driveways, using the same name as the
road they come off of.  This is something Census does for their use.
Campbell County does NOT duplicate road names.

Virginia has a statewide road database in which localities provide data
updates.  Campbell County participates in this process.  Statewide
street data can be viewed and/or downloaded from:

Additionally, County data can be viewed from our County Website at:

Re: [Talk-us] [HOT] iD issues?

[Charlotte Wolter]

Mike,

Some updates were made to iD some weeks 
ago. Apparently, somehow, it made clicking on a 
feature to select it more difficult. I use 
Firefox, and usually have to click 3 or 4 times 
to get an individual item selected.
I wrote to the iD team about that, and 
Brian Housel replied, saying that they know about 
the issue and it is being worked on. Sounded like 
it had been frustrating them, too.
I also suggested they make the 
"automatic scroll" area around the outside edge 
of the screen smaller. Automatic scrolling can be 
good, but the scrolling border is about an inch 
wide now. Sometimes, when I'm doing an edit, it 
takes off scrolling. To guard against that, I 
have to stay closer to the center of the screen 
than usual. Brian thought that was a good idea.
Of course, they all are volunteers like 
we are, so it may take them some time to diagnose and fix the issues.

Update: perhaps it is just coincidence, but iD 
appears to be fully working in IE, however, I 
know I have successfully used iD in Chrome in the past.

familiarize myself with iD as I normally us 
JOSM. In the iD editor I am able to add and tag 
new features, but I cannot select existing 
features in order modify their geometry or their 
tags, and I cannot get the context menu to 
appear.  I am using Chrome on Windows. Does 
anyone have any advice or idea as to what I might be doing wrong?
