Re: [Talk-us] possible upgrade for residential roads in Detroit
in many places, avenue and street are more or less interchangable. in St Pete Florida, for example, avenues are east-west and streets are north-south; otherwise the terms are interchangable. i've seen this usage elsewhere and imagine it's common. when mapping, there are two potential tricks that can help. lines generally signal a collector or "higher" road, so tertiary or secondary. look at stop signs. a road where stop signs are infrequent is likely some sort of collector - again, tertiary or secondary. richard On 8/16/17 12:18 PM, John F.

Secondary typically is "state highway, or road that is important as a state highway". That will be fairly rare. In rural areas, tertiary is typically a road that gets you to another town, or to a different local area even if not across a boundary. So the roads people use to travel to a place that's in a different 1 people population center should be tertiary. That's too broad brush and not really right, but I suggest that following it leads to sane results. signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
Re: [Talk-us] possible upgrade for residential roads in Detroit
I don't know about Detroit, but in Nashville, TN, where I live, street suffixes don't necessarily reflect their importance. My parents lived for decades on Parthenon Avenue, a very minor residential street.

Re: [Talk-us] possible upgrade for residential roads in Detroit
Looked at your examples, and an upgrade makes sense to me. If I see roads like this, I tend to upgrade to a lower level tag (ie tertiary) unless I understand the road network pretty well. Locals can always bump up the level later if it seems justified.

[Talk-us] possible upgrade for residential roads in Detroit
Hi all, I was looking over residential roads in central area of Detroit and I was wondering if some of them should be upgraded to a superior function class (e.g. tertiary or secondary). Lots of them are Avenues and Boulevards with at least two lanes and seems to be major collector roads. I think they were imported from TIGER Roads and some of them need a review check. Some examples: 2nd Avenue (id: 219713713) West Palmer Avenue (id: 8738831) The counties of interest are: Wayne, Macomb, Oakland. What do you think?
