Re: [Talk-us] Thoughts on a standard "ref" abbreviation for PA Turnpike?
I didn't mean put network=* on the way; I meant the route relation. I presume that's already how it differentiates Interstates, US routes, state routes, etc. I don't know how else it could be done from the relation. I certainly agree now with adding PATP as a ref on the ways for the reasons you've described.

I reroll the tiles only sporadically. The shaped shields are used only for route=road relations. Putting network and ref on the way won't get them. (The plain text rectangles are used as a fallback for routes that have ref=* but are not members of route relations, or for networks that the code doesn't recognize.) Even though there are no reassurance markers, I think that map users would expect to see the Pike labeled as such, with the shield in place. The markers at entry and exit are prominent, and it's pretty obvious when you're entering and leaving since your go through a toll station. ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
Re: [Talk-us] Thoughts on a standard "ref" abbreviation for PA Turnpike?
This would not involve adding ref=PATP to the PA Turnpike route relation. However, thinking about it now, I think it should be added to the ways for the sake of the Carto renderer. (I know, I know, tagging for the renderer, but isn't Carto's use of ref tags for route markers the only reason the tags remain on ways?) We'd need to be careful where we use PATP in destination:ref tags, since the Turnpike shield is very rarely used once on the Turnpike. For example, the ramps from the mainline Turnpike (I-276) to the northbound Northeast Extension (I-476) should remain tagged as destination:ref=I 476 and not destination:ref=I 476;PATP since that shield does not appear on the signs. The only such use of a Turnpike shield that I know of is the aforementioned example eastbound at Willow Grove. "PA Turnpike XX" routes are an established type in Pennsylvania. Three examples currently exist: 66 (New Stanton to Delmont), 43 (WV to Fairchance and Uniontown to Jefferson Hills), and 576 (entire length, US 22 to Pgh Int'l Airport). A relation tagged with network=US:PA:Turnpike and a numerical ref value should trigger the use of the PA Turnpike XX shield. This isn't simply a fancy label for a standard state route like the yellow TOLL banners on I-376. They are treated as separate routes by PennDOT and the PTC. Exiting US 22 near Delmont, signs say "PA 66 South, TO PA Turnpike 66." Occasionally, an erroneous PA Turnpike XX shield pops up for I-76, 276, or 476, but that's inaccurate. Also, the oldest part of PA 43 and the tolled part of I-376 (once PA 60) were in the past signed with a white keystone simply saying "TOLL" at the top, but there are no remaining routes signed this way. On an unrelated note, thanks for linking that renderer. I used it to find and fix some holes in PA's US 119 relation where it defaulted to using a plain text rectangle since only the ref tag was present. I'll start adding PATP to destination:ref tags now, but will only retag the mainline ways if no one else has any objections.

Sounds good to me - I think the PATP abbreviation is easy to understand.

[Talk-us] Thoughts on a standard "ref" abbreviation for PA Turnpike?
Does anyone object to the use of "PATP" as the ref equivalent for the PA Turnpike? Particularly for destination:ref tags, as the Turnpike keystone shield is used on most guide signs for ramps onto the Turnpike. However, since it's not used as a reassurance marker*, I don't think it should be added as a ref tag on the ways (i.e. ref=I 76;PATP) as is done on the New Jersey Turnpike, which does have its shield on pull-through signs and similar. This sort of abbreviation is already standard practice in New Jersey (for the NJTP, GSP, and ACE) and New York (all the parkways), which have standard shields used on guide signs. This would apply to the mainline (I-76 and I-276) and the Northeast Extension (I-476), but not the newer four extensions (PA Tpke 43, 66, 576, and I-376). *There is now one set of signs eastbound on the mainline PA Turnpike approaching the Willow Grove (PA 611) interchange that has the PA Turnpike shield on the pull-through side. However, this was put up within the past two months and is not nearly common enough to base system-wide practice on. —Albert Pundt ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
