Re: [Talk-us] SPAM-LOW: Re: Rural US: Correcting Original TIGER Imported Ways

I have spent a very large amount of time cleaning up TIGER in rural areas of Florida. I agree with others that the vast majority of untouched TIGER ways in un-populated rural areas classified as residential are forest roads for logging trucks at best and pure fantasy at worst, with tons of

Re: [Talk-us] Rural US: Correcting Original TIGER Imported Ways

If you can cover an entire area (which I'd define as a swath between the nearest state highways), I agree that downgrading to track absent other clues is one reasonable solution. One of my key points is that anyone who's spent a fair bit of time trying to use GPS maps (of any origin) in

Re: [Talk-us] Rural US: Correcting Original TIGER Imported Ways

I am very happy to see this rekindled interest in TIGER cleanup! Having done a fair amount of backcountry exploring, I know that there is a wide range of road grades and aerial imagery alone is not enough to decide how navigable a roads is for a particular type of vehicle. Or, for that matter,

Re: [Talk-us] Rural US: Correcting Original TIGER Imported Ways

In National Forests, USFS road data usually has sensible information about the suitability of roads for general traffic. There's an imagery layer showing the Forest Service data: https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Richard/diary/26099 I prefer opening transformed data as a layer in JOSM. Here's

Re: [Talk-us] Rural US: Correcting Original TIGER Imported Ways

Please, please, please don't convert rural roads to tracks based on imagery alone unless it's incredibly clear (and that would exclude anything with forest cover). While many of them should definitely be unclassified, not residential, downgrading the main rural routes to tracks doesn't match

[Talk-us] Rural US: Correcting Original TIGER Imported Ways

How many of the TIGER imported streets are still untouched? Looking at typical urban area with a high number of OSM contributors the your answer might be very few. Seattle for example only has one street left, and unnamed street in the far south of Seattle. King County, just under 6,000 sq km, has
