Re: [Talk-us] Prioritizing multi-banded route designators (multiple overlaps) on ways: the Principal route designator concept

I know awhile back I updated the ref tag on the short segment of I-77 that has I-74 cosigned with it from ref=I 74;I 77 to ref=I 77;I 74 because along that segment, they are using I-77's mile markers. Plus it helps to know that I-77 was there long before the two I-74 signs (one NB and one SB)

Re: [Talk-us] Separate relations for each direction of US State highways.

I have no problems going with either : or ; for the separator for unsigned segments of highways in the role area. What does everybody else think? As this shouldn't be decided by just two people. We do still need the consensuses of [talk-us] before any mass changing of relations happen.

Re: [Talk-us] Separate relations for each direction of US State highways.

=south:unsigned / role=east:unsigned for unsigned segments, unless the entire numbered route is unsigned, in which case unsigned_ref would do the job. Any more insights and comments? Thanks Martijn On Fri, Dec 6, 2013 at 5:31 PM, James Mast rickmastfa...@hotmail.com wrote: Well, to add

[Talk-us] South Carolina State Highways - primary overload

Is it just me, or are there way too many primary state highways when some of them should really be secondary instead? The US Highways should normally be the primary/trunk highways and only a few select State Highways should be primary or trunk. To be honest, it seems that 98% of all the State

I just wish Bing would update the imagery around Charlotte, NC. Especially because of the building of the missing link of I-485. And I can't forget to mention I-85 as well since it's being widened from 2 to 4 lanes going North from I-485. I so want to clean that major turbine interchange of

Re: [Talk-us] Separate relations for each direction of US State highways.

We also have to come up with a way to designate hidden segments of a route so we don't have to have two separate relations for highways that have segments that are hidden. Some of the examples I'm thinking of are like US-52 in MN when it's on I-94 and US-19 Trunk here in Pittsburgh, PA while

However, with the split Interstates (I-35W/I-35E in both TX and MN I-69E/I-69C/I-69W in TX) US Highways (and a few state highways), the letters are part of the route number. So, they wouldn't have any effect on the role part for relations. When given routing info, they'd act just like
