Re: [Talk-us] possible upgrade for residential roads in Detroit

[Richard Welty]

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.

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.

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.

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?

Best regards,
Ionut

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.

Cheers,

[Talk-us] possible upgrade for residential roads in Detroit

[Ionut Radu - (p)]

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?

Best regards,
Ionut
